US businesses would get government advice to avoid ties to forced labor in China.
This bill would require the Department of Commerce to give advice to US businesses. This advice would help them avoid unknowingly supporting forced labor and human rights abuses in places like China, especially involving Uyghur populations. It would also train Commerce employees on these issues.
Today, the Department of Commerce is not explicitly required to provide specific training to its employees on human rights abuses by the Chinese government, nor is it mandated to offer specific guidance to US businesses on these issues. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Commerce would be required to provide such training to relevant employees and offer advisory guidance to US businesses on identifying and avoiding entities implicated in human rights abuses, particularly forced labor against Uyghurs in China.
