Plain-English Summary

The legislation would create a new federal crime for individuals who knowingly work on behalf of foreign adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea to harm U.S. national security, with penalties including fines and imprisonment. It would apply to people engaged in espionage, sabotage, or other hostile activities directed by these countries against American interests. The law aims to give federal prosecutors stronger tools to prosecute foreign agents and their collaborators operating within the United States.
