§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have expanded the definition of "countries of concern" to include nations facing international court cases for genocide or war crimes. It also would have included countries whose leaders have outstanding arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court, triggering stricter reporting rules for colleges receiving money from those nations.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Expanded Definition
It would have applied stricter reporting rules to any country defending itself against genocide or war crimes allegations in international courts.
POINT 02
ICC Arrest Warrants
Countries with officials wanted by the International Criminal Court would have been labeled as 'of concern,' requiring colleges to provide more detailed financial disclosures.
POINT 03
Large Rejection Margin
The 3-410 vote indicates that the vast majority of the House did not support linking these specific international legal statuses to the bill's reporting requirements.
