Uyghur Legislation: Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is working to advance his bill (The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, S. 3471/H.R. 6210) before the end of the week. It passed the House in September with an overwhelming vote of 406 to 3, and nearly one-third of the Senate has signed on as a cosponsor. The bill would ban imports from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region unless companies can provide clear and convincing evidence the product is not made with forced labor. Senator Rubio's office plans to introduce some changes to the bill to improve it and make its goals achievable. Once it passes the Senate, the House will have to vote again on the revised bill. The bill's lead sponsor in the House, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), said the House will not accept any changes that "weaken" the bill.
