No PRC Seafood in Congress Act

This bill would ban seafood products from the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau, from being bought, served, or sold in dining facilities in the U.S. Capitol buildings and on the Capitol Grounds. Covered seafood includes products fished, raised, or processed in whole or in part in China, and products caught by vessels owned, operated, or registered by Chinese nationals or entities. Within 180 days, the House and Senate committees, the Architect of the Capitol, and other entities that oversee these facilities would have to issue rules to carry out the ban. Those rules would require seafood suppliers to certify every country where their seafood was caught, raised, or processed and to keep records backing up those certifications.
