State and USAID would bar Xinjiang goods

If enacted, funds for the State Department and USAID would not be used for any policy, program, or contract that knowingly uses goods from Xinjiang or from certain listed entities. The Secretary of State could allow a specific activity only after getting a written promise that the partner will not use Xinjiang goods and will set up a system to enforce this. The Secretary would have to notify the top members of the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committees at least 15 days before approval. The activity could not be allowed if another law forbids it. For three years, State would send Congress a yearly report on violations, enforcement challenges, and plans to improve. The bill would use a federal list to define "covered entity" and the Tariff Act meaning for "forced labor."
