The text outlines the "Georgian People’s Act" which includes titles and sections about sanctions, policy statements, and strategies related to Georgia. It covers sanctions against certain Georgian officials, measures to enhance U.S. relations with Georgia, and additional steps to support the people of Georgia, such as democracy programs and reports on issues like corruption and political prisoners.

Congress highlights the strong diplomatic and security ties between the United States and Georgia, emphasizing Georgia's international relationships and its aspirations to join the European Union and NATO. The text also outlines concerns over Georgia's handling of civil liberties and increasing economic ties with Russia, including the controversial foreign agents bill that sparked large protests and criticism from international bodies.

The policy outlines the United States' call for political reforms in Georgia to support its Euro-Atlantic aspirations, emphasizes the importance of democratic processes and freedoms, and stresses the need for consequences against those undermining Georgia's stability and sovereignty. It also encourages reduced trade with Russia, the release of politically imprisoned individuals, and the assurance of fair elections in 2024.

The section provides definitions for certain terms used in the Act, such as identifying specific committees related to foreign relations and appropriations in both the Senate and House of Representatives, explaining the "foreign agents bill" as a reintroduced bill in Georgia, defining "Georgia" as the Republic of Georgia, specifying that "NATO" stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and clarifying that "Secretary" refers to the Secretary of State.

The section provides definitions for several terms, including "admission," "alien," and "immediate family members," referencing their meanings in the Immigration and Nationality Act. It also defines what constitutes a "foreign person," a "United States person," and explains "knowingly" as having or should have knowledge about certain actions or circumstances.

The policy of the United States supports Georgia's goal to join the European Union and NATO, as outlined in its constitution and backed by the majority of its citizens. Congress believes that any efforts by corrupt or influential individuals to stop Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration is a sign of corruption, and suggests that the U.S. consider travel restrictions or sanctions against such individuals, including possibly revoking visas for those living in the U.S. with ties to these activities.

The section explains that the U.S. Secretary must identify and determine if certain Georgian officials or their immediate family members have engaged in significant corruption or violence related to blocking Euro-Atlantic integration within 90 days of the Act’s enactment. It mandates that visas for such individuals be immediately revoked, requires a report to Congress listing those identified, and allows for waivers if there's a compelling national interest or changed circumstances.

The section outlines sanctions to be imposed on foreign individuals who undermine Georgia's peace or security, including blocking their U.S. property and making them ineligible for U.S. entry. The President can waive these sanctions for national security reasons, and the sanctions are set to end by December 31, 2029, unless specified conditions are met.

The section requires the President to submit a report to Congress within 180 days listing any foreign individuals involved in significant corruption or human rights abuses in Georgia and whether they should be sanctioned under existing U.S. authorities. It also details a process for congressional oversight, allowing certain congressional committees to request a review and justification for the decision on sanctioning a foreign person.

The section explains certain exceptions to the sanctions described in the Act. These exceptions include activities related to intelligence and law enforcement, obligations under international agreements, importation of goods, and provisions of humanitarian assistance, such as food and medical supplies.

The text outlines a strategy for the United States regarding its relationship with Georgia. It explains that the U.S. will reconsider its policies and assistance to Georgia if the country passes certain restrictive laws or takes steps to integrate with the European Union. It also requires a strategy within 90 days for deepening ties with Georgia, focusing on political objectives, defense partnerships, support for civil society, and trade relationships.

The section requires the Secretary of State to report on U.S. assistance to Georgia, detailing projects and funding that don't focus on democracy or rule of law, and to suspend projects that aid state actors undermining democracy. The Secretary can redirect funds to other European areas and needs to ensure aid to Georgia is either a U.S. security interest or aligned with Georgia's democratic and international goals.

The section expresses Congress's opinion that the U.S. Secretary should pause the United States-Georgia Strategic Partnership Commission. This pause should last until Georgia's government reflects the democratic wishes of its citizens and moves towards joining the European Union and NATO.

The section emphasizes the valuable defense partnership between the United States and Georgia, highlighting their historical agreements and Georgia's contributions to international missions. It suggests that the U.S. should maintain strong military connections with Georgia and requires the Secretary of Defense to review if continued support for Georgia's military needs is appropriate in light of recent political changes.

The United States policy aims to support Georgia by promoting democratic values, maintaining its territorial integrity against Russian threats, and backing free elections and civic engagement. Additionally, it emphasizes Georgia's sovereign rights and continues to ensure bipartisan support for its democratic aspirations.

The section outlines U.S. plans to fund and support democratic initiatives in Georgia, allocating at least $50 million to promote democracy, independent media, and rule of law in light of upcoming national elections. It also includes a review of support strategies following a foreign agents law, with considerations for additional aid to civil society and media.

The section requires the Secretary, collaborating with relevant agencies, to deliver a report to Congress within 120 days of the act's passage. The report must assess disinformation and corruption activities in Georgia, including identifying sources spreading misinformation, evaluating corruption's impact on politics, and examining Russian and Chinese influence in the region. The report should be submitted in an unclassified form with a classified annex.

The section requires the Secretary, with help from relevant federal agencies, to submit a report within 120 days about political prisoners in Georgia. This report will list those imprisoned for political reasons since March 2024 and describe efforts to advocate for their release, and it must be in an unclassified format.

This section states that the Act will no longer be in effect five years after it is enacted, with the exception of section 104, which will continue.
