          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Combating Global Corruption Act of 2023 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Department of State to address corruption in foreign governments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The State Department must annually publish a tiered ranking of foreign countries based on their government's efforts to eliminate corruption.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill outlines the minimum standards that the State Department must consider when creating the ranking, such as whether a country has criminalized corruption, adopted measures to prevent corruption, and complied with the United Nations Convention Against Corruption and other relevant international agreements. Tier one countries meet the standards; tier two countries make some efforts to meet the standards; tier three countries make &lt;em&gt;de minimis&lt;/em&gt; or no efforts to meet the standards.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If a country is ranked in the second or third tier, the State Department must designate an anti-corruption contact at the U.S. diplomatic post in that country to promote good governance and combat corruption.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The State Department must report annually to Congress a list of foreign persons (individuals or entities) (1) who have engaged in significant corruption in a tier three country, and (2) upon whom the President has imposed sanctions pursuant to this bill.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
