HR 8480

The Turn Off the Tap Act aims to restrict U.S. federal funding to specific entities deemed to pose a risk to American national security and prosperity. This bill prohibits federal agencies from contracting with or providing funds to entities listed on various sanctions lists, including those sanctioned by the U.S., those linked to China’s military-industrial complex, and companies producing risky communications equipment. The goal is to prevent U.S. taxpayer money from supporting organizations that could undermine American interests. It effectively limits the federal government’s ability to financially support these designated entities.
