On Thursday, the U.S. Senate gave final passage to H.R. 6256, The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (full text). The bill now goes to President Biden for his signature. It calls for development of a strategy:
to ensure that goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part with forced labor in the People’s Republic of China, including by Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tibetans, and members of other persecuted groups in the People’s Republic of China, and especially in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, are not imported into the United States.
It also calls for development of guidance for importers. National Law Review has more details.
