## Summary

**Targets the Popular Resistance Committees with focused terrorism sanctions.** This bill would require the President to impose financial and travel restrictions on the PRC and related actors and to deliver regular designation reports to Congress. - Within 90 days the President would block property and prohibit transactions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for the PRC, its officials, agents, affiliates, persons they own or control, and armed groups under the PRC umbrella. - Foreign persons tied to the PRC would be inadmissible to the United States, ineligible for visas or parole, and subject to immediate revocation and automatic cancellation of previously issued visas or entry documents, with narrow exceptions for the United Nations and for intelligence, law enforcement, or national security activities. - The bill would require an initial report within 90 days and ongoing determinations (one year after enactment and every two years thereafter) on whether the PRC, Lion’s Den, or related entities meet criteria for Specially Designated Global Terrorist or Foreign Terrorist Organization status. It also authorizes implementation under IEEPA, allows the President to waive sanctions for up to 180 days with 15 days' notice to specified congressional committees, and permits termination of sanctions if terrorist activity ceases.
