DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act

This bill blocks U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding to colleges and universities that maintain relationships with Confucius Institutes or "Chinese entities of concern" (defined as institutions linked to China's military or defense sectors). It requires affected schools to terminate such relationships within 12 months of the bill's enactment to regain eligibility for DHS funds. The law directly impacts higher education institutions receiving DHS funding, not all schools or federal programs. Key provisions mandate DHS to deny funding to institutions with ongoing ties to these entities, with eligibility restored only after relationship termination.
