Ban on Federal Funding for Wuhan Institute of Virology and Required Spending Audit.

This law immediately stops all US federal funding from going to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for any purpose. It also mandates a detailed government study to determine exactly how much US taxpayer money was previously awarded to the Institute, the Chinese government, and the Chinese Communist Party over the last 15 years. This aims to increase transparency and oversight regarding US spending abroad.
Key points
Complete prohibition on using US taxpayer money to fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Requires a government audit (GAO study) to track federal funds provided to WIV, the Chinese government, and the Chinese Communist Party over the past 15 years.
