Officials from several named countries would have to alert the State Department before meeting U.S. state or local officials or visiting schools and research centers. Congress would get monthly reports, and the rules would end after five years.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Countering Corrupt Political (CCP) Influence Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Latest action on S. 1623: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects foreign embassies, missions, and officials from the listed countries. They would have to report covered meetings and visits before they happen. It also affects U.S. state and local officials, schools, and research centers because their meetings or visits with those foreign officials could appear in State Department reports to Congress.
Why this matters: The bill matters because foreign governments can build ties with U.S. officials, schools, and researchers far below the national level. Some lawmakers want the federal government to track those contacts more closely. The bill would give Congress regular information about where these meetings happen and who takes part. It could also shape later rules for U.S. diplomats abroad, but the bill does not say what those later rules would be.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
