REVOKE Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to suspend or revoke the security clearance of any former military member or former civilian Defense Department employee who lobbies for certain Chinese companies. The rule covers companies that appear both on the Defense Department's most recent list of Chinese military companies and on the Treasury Department's Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List. The Secretary could waive the rule for an individual for up to 180 days at a time by certifying to Congress's defense committees that doing so serves U.S. national security. Lobbying terms are defined using the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
