What this bill would do

The "Chinese List Entity Alignment and Review Act of 2025," also known as the "CLEAR Act of 2025," updates how the government identifies Chinese military companies operating in the United States. It amends Section 1260H(b)(3) of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. The bill requires the Secretary to review entities added to other U.S. Government lists of Chinese entities during the previous year. These other lists must involve restrictions or scrutiny regarding the entities' activities or affiliations. If reviewed, these entities may be included in the annual revision of the list of Chinese military companies.
