This bill sets a US policy of shutting Chinese officials out of global financial bodies if Beijing threatens Taiwan. If the President notifies Congress under the Taiwan Relations Act of a threat to Taiwan's security or its social or economic system, and a danger to US interests, arising from actions of the People's Republic of China, it becomes US policy to seek to exclude PRC representatives, to the maximum extent practicable, from the Group of Twenty, the Bank for International Settlements, the Financial Stability Board, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, and the International Organization of Securities Commissions. The Treasury Secretary, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Securities and Exchange Commission must take all necessary steps to advance that policy. The President may waive the policy for a given organization by reporting to the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee that the waiver is in the national interest, with reasons. The Act sunsets five years after enactment, or 30 days after the President notifies Congress that ending it is in the national interest, whichever comes first.
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.
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence. That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed.
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.
