CCP Visa Ban Act of 2023

This bill prohibits U.S. visas for individuals who are or were members of or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), specifically targeting business and tourist visas (B1/B2 classifications). It amends immigration law to make CCP members inadmissible and bans the issuance of these visas, requiring visa applications to check for CCP membership. Customs and Border Protection must cancel existing visas for covered aliens and update visa databases within 90 days of enactment. The policy directly affects CCP-affiliated individuals seeking or holding these specific nonimmigrant visas, with no alternative remedy except reapplying for a new visa.
