H.R. 10324 — ROMA Act

This section states the purposes of the Act as recognizing a public-private partnership that developed an isotopic signature to test cotton and textile imports for cotton grown and processed with forced labor in China’s Xinjiang province in violation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and encouraging a similar process for processing tomatoes sold as paste or mixed into other products.

This section establishes a database of isotopic signatures for processing tomatoes, using domestic and foreign samples, and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide timely access to the database upon request by any individual or entity. It directs research on isotopic testing methods to support the database, coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on import inspections, and a report to Congress within 2 years that analyzes the database, research results, and any recommended actions.
