Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the Congress that the delay in the enforcement of a Smoot Hawley Tariff Act provision, which prohibits importation of goods mined or produced wholly or in part in any foreign country by convict, forced, or indentured labor under penal sanctions, is unacceptable to the Congress.
Requests the Secretary of the Treasury to end the delay in the enforcement of such provision and immediately prohibit the importation of such goods.
