Falun Gong Protection Act

This bill establishes a United States policy to combat forced organ harvesting in the People's Republic of China, specifically mentioning the persecution of Falun Gong. It aims to avoid cooperation with China in organ transplantation while the Chinese Communist Party is in power and to use sanctions to end state-sponsored organ harvesting campaigns. The policy also emphasizes working with allies and multilateral institutions to highlight China's human rights abuses and coordinate targeted sanctions and visa restrictions. The legislation mandates the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons who knowingly engage in or facilitate involuntary organ harvesting in China. These sanctions include the blocking of property and interests in property within U.S. jurisdiction and rendering individuals inadmissible to the United States , including the revocation of any existing visas. The President must submit an initial list of such persons within 180 days and update it annually, with exceptions for national security, humanitarian assistance, and a presidential waiver for vital national security interests. Furthermore, the bill requires the Secretary of State, in consultation with other agencies, to submit a comprehensive report on China's organ transplant policies and practices within one year. This report must assess the number of transplants, sources of organs, and the timeline for organ procurement, particularly concerning prisoners of conscience like Falun Gong practitioners. It also seeks a determination on whether the persecution of Falun Gong constitutes an "atrocity" under U.S. law, while explicitly stating that the sanctions do not apply to the importation of goods.
