## Summary

**This bill would** **suspend or revoke security clearances** for retired or separated service members and former Department of Defense civilian employees who lobby for certain Chinese military-linked companies. It ties the prohibition to entities named on two official U.S. lists. - For retired and separated service members and former DoD civilian employees: They would risk losing their security clearance or eligibility to access classified information if they engage in lobbying activities or lobbying contacts for specified entities. - For the Secretary of Defense: The Secretary would be required to suspend or revoke clearances for covered activity but may grant waivers up to 180 days if they certify to the congressional defense committees that a waiver is in the national security interest. - For targeted companies: The prohibition applies only to entities listed in the Pentagon's report under section 1260H of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act and on the Treasury Department's Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List. The bill also adopts definitions from the Lobbying Disclosure Act for "lobbying activities" and "lobbying contact."
