What this bill would do

This bill is called the Know Your Sanctioned Securities Act''. It requires the Securities and Exchange Commission to make rules within 180 days. These rules will add a CMC'' modifier to the ticker symbol of securities issued by any company on the Secretary of Defense's list of Chinese military companies. The bill also requires the removal of this modifier if an issuer is removed from that list. This is meant to keep folks informed about the companies we are dealing with.
