Bill overview
This bill, the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act, prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from purchasing batteries manufactured by six specific Chinese companies and any entities linked to them through lists related to forced labor or the Department of Defense. The restrictions begin on October 1, 2027, and allow for waivers if DHS determines the batteries don’t pose a risk and no suitable alternative exists, or if they are solely for research purposes. DHS must notify Congress of any waivers granted and provide a report on the bill’s potential impact on various DHS agencies.
