CAMPUS Act

Bill 119 s 1010, also known as the "Prohibition of Funds for Universities Supporting the People's Liberation Army Act," aims to prevent universities in the United States from providing support to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China. The bill seeks to achieve this by prohibiting the use of federal funds for any university that is found to be supporting the PLA in any way.

The bill is designed to address concerns about potential collaboration between American universities and the PLA, which is the armed forces of the Chinese government. Supporters of the bill argue that such collaboration could pose a threat to national security and could potentially compromise sensitive information and technology.

If passed, the bill would require universities to certify that they are not providing any support to the PLA in order to continue receiving federal funding. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the loss of federal funding for the university. In addition to prohibiting funds for universities supporting the PLA, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the summary. Overall, Bill 119 s 1010 is aimed at safeguarding national security interests by preventing American universities from providing support to the People's Liberation Army of China.
