H.R. 9834 — No Racketeers on our Shores Act
What it does
This bill makes foreign government officials inadmissible to the U.S. and deportable if they have subjected U.S. persons or companies to harsher regulatory treatment, fines, taxes, or enforcement actions than they applied to similarly situated foreign competitors. The bill targets what it frames as economic discrimination by foreign officials against American business interests.
