No Federal Funding for CCP Spying and Persuasion In Education Settings (SPIES) Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No Federal Funding for CCP Spying and Persuasion In Education Settings (SPIES) Act of 2023
This bill generally prohibits an institution of higher education (IHE) that hosts a Confucius Institute from receiving funding from the Department of Defense (DOD). A Confucius Institute is a cultural institute directly or indirectly funded by the Chinese government.
Currently, a U.S. IHE that hosts a Confucius Institute is prohibited from receiving DOD funds (except for funds provided directly to students as educational assistance) unless that IHE receives a waiver from DOD. This bill removes DOD's waiver authority.
The bill also applies the general prohibition to international IHEs.
