"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.

Official Senate release within the lookback window confirms the bill was introduced on May 21, 2026 and describes the one-year deadline mechanism.

Official bill text shows Rick Scott had already introduced a closely related measure in the same policy area, with the one-year divestment concept baked into the legislative text.
