Summary of Bill S 63

Bill 119 s 63, also known as the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the existing Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991. The main purpose of this bill is to impose sanctions on foreign countries that engage in acts related to chemical or biological programs that cause harm or injury to other foreign countries.

In addition to imposing sanctions, the bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements and oversight mechanisms to ensure that the sanctions are implemented effectively and in accordance with the law. Overall, Bill 119 s 63 is designed to strengthen the US government's ability to respond to acts concerning chemical or biological programs that pose a threat to other countries, and to uphold the principles of non-proliferation and disarmament in the international community.
