Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act
This bill requires companies that list securities in the United States to disclose whether their supply chains involve goods produced using forced labor in China's Xinjiang region. To comply, issuers must obtain independent audits from third-party auditors and publicly report detailed information about their sourcing, including specific facility names, revenue generated from affected products, and steps taken to avoid human rights abuses. The legislation defines forced labor broadly to include work under state-sponsored programs targeting specific ethnic groups in Xinjiang and mandates that these disclosure rules remain in effect for eight years unless the President certifies that such abuses have ended.
