     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Deserves To Know Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires sanctions on certain members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and officials of Chinese health agencies. It also addresses related issues.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The President must impose visa- and property-blocking sanctions on any foreign person who is a CCP official and who is knowingly responsible for or complicit in (1) the disappearances of whistleblowers and citizen journalists in China relating to COVID-19, or (2) limiting free speech and academic freedom in China relating to COVID-19. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The President must also impose such sanctions on specified individuals who have leadership positions in China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention and China's National Health Commission (NHC).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The authority to impose such sanctions shall end when the President certifies to Congress that an independent and unimpeded investigation into the potential origin of COVID-19 from the Wuhan Institute of Virology has taken place.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also bars federal funds and certain federal student assistance from going to institutions of higher education that enter into a contract with any element or China-based affiliate of the NHC.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Federal funding to the National Academy of Sciences may not be used to enter into a contract with any element or China-based affiliate of the NHC.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Government Accountability Office must report to Congress a review of all funds that the National Institutes of Health have made available to the NHC since FY2010. This report must also be publicly available.&lt;/p&gt;
