Introduce the CCP Sanctions Shot Clock Act to create a one-year deadline to place identified PRC persons on the NS-CMIC list.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Today, Senator Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik introduced the CCP Sanctions Shot Clock Act, which establishes a one-year 'shot clock' to bar sanctioned Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials from doing business on U.S. exchanges after being identified as a potential threat." The release also states the bill requires the Treasury Secretary to add identified PRC persons to the NS-CMIC List within one year of their identification.
The introduced Senate bill text states: "Not later than 90 days after the Secretary of Defense identifies an entity as a Chinese military company ... the Secretary of the Treasury shall include that entity on the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List" and then allows a one-year divestment period after inclusion.
Assessments
Rick Scott fulfilled the specific promise by introducing the CCP Sanctions Shot Clock Act while serving in the same federal Senate term. The cited Senate release directly confirms that Scott and Rep. Elise Stefanik introduced the bill on May 21, 2026, and that it would require Treasury to add identified PRC persons to the NS-CMIC List within a one-year deadline. Because the promise was to introduce the bill, not to enact it, introduction is sufficient for full delivery.
