HR1724-119

Passed House

To prohibit the use of funds supporting any activities within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China.

119th Congress Introduced Feb 27, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

Bars State Department and USAID funds from supporting programs, policies, or contracts that knowingly use goods mined, produced, or manufactured in whole or in part in Xinjiang or by certain covered entities, unless the Secretary of State specifically authorizes the activity subject to compliance assurances and congressional notice.

Who Benefits and How

Uyghur forced-labor enforcement and human-rights advocates could benefit from a procurement and programmatic rule that pressures federal foreign-aid and diplomacy activities to avoid Xinjiang-linked goods.

Who Bears the Burden and How

State, USAID, contractors, and implementing partners must police supply chains, secure written assurances, and may lose flexibility in procurement or program design involving covered goods.

Key Provisions

  • Prohibits State and USAID funds from supporting activities that knowingly use Xinjiang-produced goods or goods from covered entities.
  • Allows specific authorization only with written compliance assurances and advance notice to key congressional committees.
  • Requires annual reports on violations, enforcement challenges, and improvement plans for three years.
  • Defines covered entities by reference to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act-related strategy.
