CCP Visa Disclosure Act of 2025

# CCP Visa Disclosure Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require foreign students and exchange visitors applying for U.S. visas to disclose whether they receive or plan to receive financial support from the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, or entities controlled by either organization. If someone receives such funding after their visa is approved, they would be required to notify the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department. Visas could be revoked if applicants fail to disclose this information truthfully. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects Chinese nationals (and potentially other foreign nationals) applying for F, J, or M category visas, which are used for students and exchange visitors. It could impact thousands of international students from China who study at U.S.

universities and educational institutions. U.S. State Department and Homeland Security officials would also be affected, as they would need to process and verify these disclosures. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative W. Gregory Steube (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill has not advanced beyond the initial committee review stage.
