U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., unveiled the Contain Ebola and Stop the Epidemic (CEASE) Act on Wednesday.
Ross's bill would give the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the ability to stop planes landing with passengers from nations impacted by Ebola. The proposal would also stop consular officers from issuing visas to those who come from Ebola-impacted nations or traveled through them. The travel and visa bans would be lifted when the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) determine the countries are free of Ebola.
