Occurrences

Specifically, this bill would give the federal government one year to investigate and determine whether equipment or services from these companies pose a threat to our national security or way of life. If so, the product or services in question would be placed on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) “Covered List”.

Scott and Cotton introduced a bill that would direct federal officials to review named Chinese tech companies within a year and add risky products or services to the FCC Covered List.

Evidence

The report says Scott and Rep. Elise Stefanik sent a letter to FCC Chair Brendan Carr and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seeking a federal investigation of Anker over alleged surveillance risks, data transfer concerns, and Chinese government subsidy issues.

This shows Rick Scott was actively pursuing a related China-tech security effort, but it is not evidence that he introduced the specific Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

As of June 14, 2026, the available evidence shows Scott pursued a related China-tech security effort by sending a letter with Rep. Elise Stefanik urging an Anker investigation, but it does not show that he introduced the specific Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026. Searches did not surface a primary legislative record or official announcement confirming bill introduction. Because the promised action is specific and 2026 is still ongoing, this is better scored as unresolved rather than never; related advocacy alone is not enough for delivery.
