                                 A BILL


 
 To prohibit the Department of Defense from offering services through, 
        or maintaining a business relationship with, Tutor.com.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Ban Chinese Communist Party Access 
to U.S. Military Students Act of 2024''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE USAGE OF TUTOR.COM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The website Tutor.com is a long-standing provider of 
        tutoring services to members of the United States Armed Forces 
        and their families.
            (2) In January 2022, Primavera Capital Group, a Chinese-
        owned corporation associated with TikTok's parent company, 
        ByteDance, acquired Tutor.com and The Princeton Review (TPR 
        Education LLC) from ST Unitas.
            (3) While providing educational services, Tutor.com 
        collects personal data on users, such as location, internet 
        protocol addresses, and contents of the tutoring sessions.
            (4) As the national security laws of the People's Republic 
        of China require companies to release confidential business and 
        customer data to the Government of the People's Republic of 
        China, the United States is paying to expose the private 
        information of members of the United States Armed Forces and 
        their children to the Chinese Communist Party.
    (b) Prohibition.--
            (1) In general.--The Department of Defense shall--
                    (A) cease offering services through Tutor.com not 
                later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of 
                this Act; and
                    (B) terminate any business relationships with 
                Tutor.com as soon as legally possible.
            (2) Future relationships.--The Department shall not enter 
        into any other relationship with Tutor.com as long as Tutor.com 
        is owned by Primavera Capital Group or any other entity owned 
        or controlled by nationals of the People's Republic of China.
