Bill overview
This bill, the DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act, aims to limit the Department of Homeland Security’s funding to colleges and universities that have connections to Confucius Institutes or designated ‘Chinese entities of concern.’ Specifically, it prohibits these institutions from receiving DHS funds unless they sever ties with these organizations. The bill defines ‘Chinese entity of concern’ based on involvement in military research, defense industries, or affiliations with Chinese government defense organizations. It also establishes a process for institutions to regain eligibility for DHS funding after terminating these relationships.
