In plain English

This bill would require visa restrictions and property freezes against foreign people and groups that help the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute those protected by the bill. Protection would cover U.S. people and groups, people in the United States, and certain citizens or legal residents of U.S. allies, with exceptions based on acceptance of ICC authority. Immediate family members of those sanctioned would also face visa restrictions. The bill would cancel existing U.S. funding for the ICC and ban future funding.

The connection table

Organizations that lobbied this bill, and money each gave South Carolina's delegates this cycle: its PAC's contributions (FEC) plus its lobbyists' reported contributions and event payments (LD‑203, group events excluded). Exact name matches only. An empty cell means no matching money was found. Under each name is that delegate’s final vote on the bill (passage or last substantive vote). Delegates who didn’t vote on it, for example because they weren’t serving, are grayed out and left out of the Total column.
