Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act of 2025

# Protect America's Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to protect American technology, research, and business secrets from what sponsors view as threats related to China's Communist Party (CCP). While the full text isn't detailed in the summary, based on its subject areas, the bill likely includes measures to strengthen oversight of foreign investments in U.S. technology companies, enhance protections for trade secrets and intellectual property, and increase monitoring of potential espionage activities targeting American innovation. **Who It Affects and Key Areas** The bill would impact multiple sectors including higher education, technology companies, research institutions, and investment firms. It appears to establish new oversight mechanisms and potentially funding restrictions, which would affect universities and companies receiving federal funding or engaged in sensitive research.

The Department of Justice would likely gain expanded authority to investigate potential espionage and economic theft related to China. **Current Status** As of now, HR 1468 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Lance Gooden (R-TX). To become law, it must pass committee review, full House approval, Senate approval, and receive presidential signature.
