## Summary

**Stop U.S.-supported loans that risk using forced labor.** This bill would direct the Treasury to push U.S. representatives at international financial institutions to oppose loans that pose a significant risk of using forced labor or that are carried out by state-owned or heavily state-influenced entities in the Xinjiang region. It would also require each institution to explain, for every project it supports, how it vetted for forced labor risks and what actions it will take to mitigate, track, and reverse those risks. - Workers and communities: Projects with a significant risk of forced labor, including convict labor and indentured labor under penal sanctions, would face formal U.S. opposition at international financial institutions. - International financial institutions and borrower projects: Institutions would need to provide a project-specific explanation of their forced-labor vetting and the mitigation, tracking, and reversal steps they will take. - U.S. oversight and diplomacy: The Treasury would publish a public report within 1 year and then annually for 5 years on projects where forced labor could be used and on U.S. efforts to persuade others to oppose such projects.
