Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act
HR 1468 establishes a new "CCP Initiative" within the Department of Justice's National Security Division to counter threats from the Chinese Communist Party. The initiative specifically targets intellectual property theft, economic espionage, and unauthorized technology transfers by Chinese entities, focusing on protecting U.S. businesses, academic institutions, and critical infrastructure. Key mechanisms include developing enforcement strategies, prioritizing cases involving trade secret theft and hacking, and requiring annual congressional reports on progress, resource use, and economic impacts. The initiative is designed to operate separately from other DOJ programs and will expire six years after enactment.
