HR 1724 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act
Summary
The bill prohibits the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development from using appropriated funds for policies, programs, or contracts that knowingly use goods produced in or by entities from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, unless specifically authorized. The Secretary of State may authorize exceptions if the relevant contractors provide written assurance that they will not use such goods and have systems to ensure compliance, and if Congress is notified at least 15 days in advance. The bill requires the Secretary of State to submit annual reports to Congress for three years describing any violations, challenges in enforcement, and plans to improve compliance with these requirements.
