SAFE U.S. Facilities Act
S 4788, the SAFE U.S. Facilities Act, prohibits federal funding from being used to host representatives of designated foreign entities (including China's government/military, Russia, and countries supporting terrorism) at critical U.S. transportation facilities, defense sites, or secure federal locations. It blocks federal grants to states, local governments, and NGOs that fund travel for such foreign representatives to attend joint exercises, meetings, or tours at these facilities. The bill allows limited, 5-day waivers by the President for national security reasons, requiring detailed congressional notification, but prohibits multiple or recurring waivers. It directly affects federal agencies, state/local governments, and NGOs receiving federal funds who facilitate such foreign engagements.
