Bill overview
The Protect USA Act of 2025 aims to prevent U.S. businesses deemed ‘integral to national interests’ from complying with certain foreign sustainability regulations, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. This bill specifically targets companies involved in the extraction or production of raw materials, manufacturing, or the production of defense-related goods. It establishes a process for the President to grant exemptions to entities facing hardship and prohibits adverse actions against those complying with the prohibition, while also allowing for civil lawsuits against those who take such actions. Penalties for non-compliance include significant fines and potential ineligibility for federal contracts.
