Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2025 This bill requires the President to impose sanctions on persons (individuals and entities) involved in forced organ trafficking and authorizes the Department of State to deny or revoke the passports of individuals convicted of certain crimes related to organ trafficking. Specifically, the President must report to Congress a list of persons that facilitate (1) forced organ harvesting, or (2) trafficking in persons for organ harvesting. For each person on the list, the President must impose property- and visa-blocking sanctions. Furthermore, the State Department may deny or revoke the passport of an individual who has been convicted of a federal crime of knowingly transferring any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation, if the individual (1) is subject to imprisonment or supervised release resulting from that conviction, and (2) used a passport or crossed an international border when committing that crime.
Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
