Sponsored By: Representative Subramanyam, Suhas [D-VA-10]
Introduced

Mandatory issuer disclosure of Xinjiang-linked supply chains and independent third-party verification. This bill would require companies registering securities to report whether their supply or production chains involve goods sourced from or through the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or produced with forced labor and to submit independent verification before filing.
Show full summary
- Companies and issuers would have to list facility names, addresses, and sourcing quantities for relevant smelters, refineries, farms, or factories and file that documentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Noncompliance or misrepresentation could block exchange approval and bar re-filing for 1 year.
- The Commission would require independent verification by an SEC-approved third-party auditor and make all documentation publicly available on the Commission’s website; auditors’ identities remain confidential unless waived and issuers must adopt policies to address reprisals against auditors.
- The bill defines forced labor to include Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other oppressed groups in state programs and sets an automatic end date no later than 8 years after enactment or earlier if the President determines mass internment and forced labor in Xinjiang have ended.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
New Xinjiang supply-chain disclosure rules
If enacted, the SEC would have 180 days to write rules requiring public companies to disclose Xinjiang and forced‑labor links. Companies would have to list each facility’s name, address, and the amount sourced. Firms would also report revenue tied to the goods, due‑diligence steps, alternative sourcing, affiliated entities, and any surveillance-related activity. Issuers would need independent verification by a Commission‑approved third‑party auditor before filing. The SEC would post the disclosures on its website. Exchanges could deny approval and bar refiling for one year for noncompliance or misrepresentation.
Time limit on Xinjiang disclosure rules
If enacted, the bill would end the expanded Section 12(m) and 13(t) disclosure duties on the earlier of 8 years after enactment or when the President certifies to Congress that mass internment and forced labor in Xinjiang have ended. The repeal would take effect when the President sends that determination or after 8 years. This would limit how long companies must follow the new disclosure and certification rules.
