Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Help police fight PRC-linked crime

If enacted, the Secretary of State would be able to set up a program to help law enforcement in Latin America and the Caribbean fight criminal groups linked to the People’s Republic of China. The program would fund consultations with U.S. agencies, training on financial investigations and asset forfeiture, and technical help like digital forensics and telecom intercept coordination. It would also support vetting and screening so recipient agencies are not compromised. The program would be run in coordination with the Attorney General and, when appropriate, the Director of National Intelligence.

Allow help despite counternarcotics failures

If enacted, the Secretary of State would be allowed to give program assistance to a country even if that country has been found to have failed U.S. counternarcotics obligations. The Secretary would have to determine the assistance is in the U.S. national interest. The Secretary would also have to notify the appropriate congressional committees at least 15 days before providing that assistance.

Report on PRC-linked crime and aid

If enacted, the Director of National Intelligence, working with the Secretary of State, would have to report to specified congressional committees within one year after enactment. The report would list every country that received assistance, describe the help and amounts, summarize known PRC-linked criminal activity and PRC law-enforcement ties, analyze PRC policing agreements, and identify mutual legal assistance treaty requests and their status. The report would be unclassified when possible and could include a classified annex.
