Prevents Congress from purchasing seafood from China.
The problem
Congress may purchase seafood sourced from China. Some lawmakers want to ensure seafood served in Congress comes from other sources for policy or security reasons.
The proposal
The bill would ban the purchase and use of seafood from China (People's Republic of China) in all Congressional dining facilities and food services.
The impact
Congressional food services would need to source seafood from other countries. This affects Congressional cafeterias, restaurants, and catering operations that serve members and staff.
Buying seafood from other sources could increase demand for U.S. or allied-country seafood products. This might help American fishing businesses and coastal communities.
Some believe sourcing from other countries reduces potential risks related to supply chain security. It ensures Congress has control over the origin of its food.
The bill signals Congressional concern about trade relationships and sourcing practices. It demonstrates consistency between stated policies and internal purchasing.
Seafood from other sources might cost more than Chinese imports. This could raise Congressional food service budgets and taxpayer costs.
Congress represents a small seafood market. The ban would have minimal effect on broader trade or industry issues compared to larger restrictions.
The bill targets only seafood from China but not other products Congress purchases. This creates an inconsistent sourcing policy.
Food service providers may struggle to find reliable alternative seafood suppliers quickly. This could create operational challenges for Congressional dining.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
