Summary
The bill amends the 1991 Chemical and Biological Weapons Control Act to let the President sanction a foreign country when an official, employee, or agent of that country knowingly harms another nation through a chemical, biological or fentanyl‑related program. Sanctions start with bans on scientific cooperation and certain exports and can expand to broader financial prohibitions if the foreign government does not correct the behavior. The measure is currently referred to the House Foreign Affairs, Financial Services, and Oversight committees.
