This bill requires the President to conduct a comprehensive review of sanctions with respect to Hong Kong. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the President must submit a detailed determination to the appropriate congressional committees, assessing whether certain listed individuals meet the criteria for sanctions. The determination will evaluate these individuals under several key authorities, including the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act , Executive Order 13818 (relating to serious human rights abuse or corruption), the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 , the Hong Kong Autonomy Act , and Executive Order 13936 (relating to Hong Kong Normalization). The individuals subject to this review include officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, some of whom were previously sanctioned by the Department of the Treasury in August 2020. The list also includes additional high-ranking officials, such as the Chief Executive, Chief Secretary for Administration, Secretary for Security, and Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the bill specifies a broad range of other officials for review, encompassing the Secretary for Justice, Police Commissioner, and numerous judges and magistrates from various levels of the Hong Kong judiciary, as well as several public prosecutors. This extensive list aims to ensure a thorough examination of individuals potentially involved in actions warranting U.S. sanctions.
