Legislative Aims
PASSING THE DETERRENT ACT
The DETERRENT ACT: The DETERRENT Act is a bipartisan bill increasing transparency and disclosure measures for universities accepting foreign funding and engaged in foreign contracts. The bill passed the 118th and 119th House of Representatives. It now sits in the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) committee.
