Hong Kong Business Integrity and Transparency Act

HR 2815, the Hong Kong Business Integrity and Transparency Act, requires the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to report every 180 days on requests made by the Hong Kong government to U.S. companies operating there. The reports must detail requests for customer data, content removals (like deleting online posts or apps), or law enforcement assistance, including how many were fulfilled and under which Hong Kong laws. This bill directly affects U.S. companies doing business in Hong Kong by mandating transparency about government interactions. It does not change existing laws but creates a reporting mechanism to monitor potential conflicts with U.S. consumer protection standards. The requirement applies to all U.S. companies operating in Hong Kong, with reports submitted to Congress and the public.
