This legislation mandates the Secretary of Commerce to implement training for Department employees who provide counseling services to businesses engaged in interstate commerce or foreign direct investment. The training is specifically designed to enhance awareness of emerging trends and issues concerning human rights abuses , particularly the use of forced labor by the Government of the People's Republic of China against Uyghurs and other ethnic minority populations in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Additionally, the Secretary must offer comprehensive guidance to United States businesses regarding these human rights abuses. This guidance will provide crucial information on risk factors, strategies to avoid doing business with implicated entities, and the potential reputational, economic, and legal risks associated with such transactions, while clarifying its advisory nature.
