Congress directs the federal government to combat forced organ harvesting and requires sanctions on those who facilitate it. The bill declares a policy of fighting organ-trafficking and holding accountable those implicated, including members of the Chinese Communist Party. It lets the Secretary of State refuse or revoke the passport of a person convicted of an organ-purchase offense under the National Organ Transplant Act who used a passport or crossed an international border in committing it. It amends the Foreign Assistance Act to require the State Department's annual human-rights reports to assess forced organ harvesting and organ-trafficking in each foreign country. Within 180 days the President must give Congress a list of every person determined to fund, sponsor, or facilitate forced organ harvesting or organ-trafficking, and must sanction them by blocking their U.S. property and, for individuals, barring them from visas and entry. The bill carves out exceptions for imported goods, humanitarian assistance, and certain international obligations, and lets the President waive sanctions in 180-day increments on national-security grounds.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 13 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: Healthcare Institute of New Jersey; Anti-Defamation League. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
