## Summary

**Blocks DHS from buying batteries made by specified foreign-adversarial-linked companies.** The bill would start that ban on Oct. 1, 2027, allow narrow waivers for security or research, and require a report on mission and cost impacts within 180 days of enactment. - DHS agencies and frontline operations would have to avoid procuring batteries from the listed entities, affecting equipment purchases across nine named components including Customs and Border Protection, TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. - U.S. battery makers and alternative suppliers could see increased procurement opportunities as DHS shifts buying away from covered firms; the Secretary may only waive the ban if batteries pose no national security risk and no comparable non-covered alternative exists, or if the procurement is solely for research or testing, and must notify Congress within 15 days of a waiver. - Specific foreign firms named include Contemporary Amperex Technology Company (CATL), BYD, Envision, EVE Energy, Gotion, Hithium, entities on forced labor or export-control lists, and their subsidiaries or successors; production is defined to include final assembly or supplying a majority of components.
