Federal Funds Ban for Schools Supported by China

This act aims to stop federal funding for elementary and secondary schools that receive support from the Chinese government. This means schools partnering with Chinese cultural or educational institutions, like Confucius Institutes, will lose access to federal education funds. The goal is to protect students from foreign government influence.
Key points
Elementary and secondary schools with partnerships or support from the Chinese government will be ineligible for federal education funds.
The ban takes effect one year after the act's enactment, allowing schools time to comply.
Schools with existing contracts can request a temporary waiver if the contract benefits the school's mission and U.S. security.
