What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill stops the Department of Homeland Security from buying batteries made by six specific Chinese companies, starting in October 2027. The Department can make exceptions if they decide the batteries don't threaten national security and there are no other good alternatives available, or if the batteries are only for research and testing. When the Department makes an exception, they must tell Congress within 15 days and report on how this rule affects their work.
