American Investment Accountability Act

HR 4617, the American Investment Accountability Act, requires U.S. businesses making significant investments to report details to Congress. It mandates quarterly reports from the Commerce Department, Treasury, and SEC on direct investments over $5 million (single transaction) or $10 million (aggregate) in "countries of concern" (including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela) or "covered entities" tied to those nations. Reports must detail investment value by sector and location, track activity through offshore financial centers, and cover portfolio investments exceeding $10 million (single) or $25 million (aggregate). This bill focuses solely on transparency requirements for large-scale U.S. investments, not on restricting or banning such investments.
