Description:
S. 3052 would require the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons he determines have undermined democracy in Cambodia, violated human rights, engaged in corruption, or supported the development of facilities in Cambodia that could be used by the Chinese military. That requirement would end after five years. The bill also would require the Administration to report to the Congress on those actions and on Chinese government and military activity in Cambodia. Estimated Federal Cost The Administration has broad authority to sanction individuals for many of the reasons specified in S. 3052. If enactment of the bill leads the Administration to broaden those sanctions, more people would be denied visas by the Department of State, resulting in an insignificant decrease in revenues from fees. Although most visa fees are retained by the Department of State and spent without further appropriation, some collections are deposited into the Treasury as revenues. Denying foreign nationals entry into the United States also would reduce direct spending on federal benefits (emergency Medicaid or federal subsidies for health insurance, for example) for which those people might otherwise be eligible.
