Time to Choose Act of 2025

# Time to Choose Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Time to Choose Act of 2025 would restrict U.S. government contracts and procurement from going to companies with significant business ties to China. Specifically, it appears designed to prevent federal agencies from purchasing goods and services from firms that have substantial financial relationships with Chinese companies or investments in China. The bill is part of broader efforts to reduce U.S. government spending with entities connected to China. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily affect government contractors and companies that do business with federal agencies.

Many U.S. corporations have some level of operations, supply chain connections, or investment ties to China, so the bill could potentially limit the pool of eligible vendors for government purchases. Federal agencies would need to comply with new contracting rules, and businesses would need to evaluate and potentially restructure their China-related activities to compete for government contracts. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) in the 119th Congress. The bill reflects ongoing congressional concern about China policy and government spending, though its specific requirements and implementation details would be determined if it advances through the legislative process.
