The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 is a bicameral and bipartisan American legislation that reintroduced the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in light of the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill proposal and the ensuing protests against it.
The act “directs various departments to assess whether political developments in Hong Kong justify changing Hong Kong’s unique treatment under U.S. law.”
The bill unanimously passed in the United States House of Representatives through a voice vote on October 15, 2019. On November 14, 2019, senators Jim Risch and Marco Rubio began a process for the United States Senate to pass the legislation.
