The bill would impose sanctions on foreign nations that have biological and chemical programs operating with "gross negligence" following the FBI's admission on COVID origins.
It would expand upon the existing sanctions system established in 1991 under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act in order to include countries that the Republicans say operate their own programs with "extreme carelessness."
