Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
New SEC rules on Xinjiang sourcing
If enacted, the SEC would have 180 days to write rules forcing issuers to disclose links to goods from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) or goods made with forced labor. Companies would have to list facility names, addresses, sourcing quantities, and report revenue and profits tied to each qualifying good, alternative sourcing options, and their chain-of-custody checks. Issuers would need independent verification from an SEC-approved auditor before filing, and the SEC would post the submissions publicly. A national securities exchange could block a listing for false or missing information and bar the issuer from refiling for one year.
Eight-year limit on rules
If enacted, the new disclosure and verification rules would be repealed on the earlier of (1) eight years after enactment, or (2) the date the President tells Congress that China has ended mass internment and forced labor in Xinjiang. While the rules last, issuers would remain subject to the reporting and audit requirements. A presidential determination could end the requirements sooner.
New legal meaning for forced labor
If enacted, the bill would define "forced labor" to include work by Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other oppressed groups under named state programs, and it would treat work in the XUAR as forced labor unless U.S. authorities say otherwise. "XUAR" would be defined as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. These definitions would apply while the disclosure rules remain in force.
