Plain-English Summary

The legislation would ban imports of goods made in Burma (Myanmar) unless the country meets certain human rights and labor standards, and would require the U.S. government to report on forced labor practices there. This would affect American companies that source products from Burma and consumers who buy goods made there, while putting pressure on the Burmese government to improve worker protections and democratic freedoms.
