Combating CCP Labor Abuses Act of 2025

# Combating CCP Labor Abuses Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to address labor practices in China by requiring the U.S. Department of Commerce to identify and report on forced labor and other labor abuses committed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If passed, it would likely create new reporting requirements and mechanisms to monitor labor conditions in Chinese industries and supply chains that may affect U.S. trade and investments. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact U.S. businesses that source materials or products from China, as well as American consumers who buy goods potentially produced using forced labor.

It would also affect U.S. government agencies tasked with enforcement and reporting. Additionally, it relates to broader U.S.-China trade and diplomatic relations. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S 580) is in committee and has not been passed. It was introduced by Senator Gary Peters, a Democrat from Michigan, in the 119th Congress. The bill remains in the early legislative stage and would need to pass through committee review and floor votes in both the Senate and House before becoming law.
