HR 1103

Sponsored by Christopher H. Smith (R)

Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) Certification Act

Would have required yearly reviews of whether Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (HKETO) keep their US legal immunities.

Tradeoff

Would have let the President end the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (HKETO) in the US. Would have also barred federal agencies from partnering with them unless the offices stayed certified.
