DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act

This bill (S 1694) restricts U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding for colleges and universities that maintain relationships with Confucius Institutes or designated "Chinese entities of concern." It defines "Chinese entities of concern" as institutions or organizations tied to China's military, defense industry, or government security agencies. Starting 12 months after enactment, schools with such relationships would lose eligibility for DHS funds unless they terminate those ties. The law directly affects higher education institutions receiving DHS funding and requires them to sever connections to avoid losing federal support.
