SEC. 30612. CONTROLLING THE EXPORT OF ELECTRONIC 
WASTE TO PROTECT UNITED STATES SUPPLY 
CHAINS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) It is in the national security interests of the 
United States to ensure that the export of electronic 
waste does not become the source of counterfeit 
goods that may reenter electronics supply chains in 
the United States, and for other purposes. 
(2) A 2012 Senate Armed Services Committee 
Report ‘‘discovered counterfeit electronic parts from 
China in the Air Force’s largest cargo plane, in as-
semblies intended for Special Operations helicopters, 
and in a Navy surveillance plane among 1,800 cases 
of bogus parts’’. 
(3) Further, exporting such material has often 
resulted in environmental damage because of illegal 
dumping or inadequate environmental regulations in 
other countries for ensuring their safe and secure 
disposal. 
(4) China, the single largest producer of elec-
tronic waste, is on track for its e-waste industry to 
total $23,800,000,000 by 2030, given its high sup-
1698 
ply of used products, demand for recycled materials, 
and capacity to transport these materials. 
(5) As the second largest producer of electronic 
waste, the United States has a strong economic and 
national security incentive to enhance domestic e- 
waste recycling capacity rather than exporting to 
China and other countries. 
(6) Given China’s lack of regulations and work-
er protections, workers in the e-waste industry have 
been exposed to over 1,000 harmful substances, in-
cluding lead and mercury, endangering the health 
and wellbeing of workers.

United Nations, the World Organisation for Animal 
Health, the World Health Organization, and the United 
Nations Environment Programme, together with leading 
intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, 
veterinary and medical colleges, the Department of State,
1732 
and the United States Agency for International Develop-
ment, should— 
(1) promote the paradigm of One Health as an 
effective and integrated way to address the com-
plexity of emerging disease threats; and 
(2) support improved community health, bio-
diversity conservation, forest conservation and man-
agement, sustainable agriculture, and the safety of 
livestock, domestic animals, and wildlife in devel-
oping countries, particularly in tropical landscapes 
where there is an elevated risk of zoonotic disease 
spill over. 
SEC. 30806. STATEMENT OF POLICY. 
It is the policy of the United States to— 
(1) support the availability of scalable and sus-
tainable alternative sources of protein and nutrition 
for local communities, where appropriate, in order to 
minimize human reliance on the commercial trade in 
live wildlife for human consumption; 
(2) support foreign governments to— 
(A) reduce commercial trade in live wildlife 
for human consumption; 
(B) transition from the commercial trade 
in live wildlife for human consumption to
1733 
sustainably produced alternate protein and nu-
tritional sources; 
(C) establish and effectively manage and 
protect natural habitat, including protected and 
conserved areas and the lands of Indigenous 
peoples and local communities, particularly in 
countries with tropical forest hotspots for 
emerging diseases; and 
(D) strengthen public health capacity, par-
ticularly in countries where there is a high risk 
of emerging zoonotic viruses and other infec-
tious diseases; 
(3) respect the rights and needs of indigenous 
peoples and local communities dependent on such 
wildlife for nutritional needs and food security; and 
(4) facilitate international cooperation by work-
ing with international partners through intergovern-
mental, international, and nongovernmental organi-
zations such as the United Nations to— 
(A) lead a resolution at the United Nations 
Security Council or General Assembly and 
World Health Assembly outlining the danger to 
human and animal health from emerging 
zoonotic infectious diseases, with recommenda-
tions for implementing the closure of wildlife
1734 
markets and prevention of the commercial trade 
in live wildlife for human consumption, except 
where the consumption of wildlife is necessary 
for local food security or where such actions 
would significantly disrupt a readily available 
and irreplaceable food supply; 
(B) raise awareness and build stakeholder 
engagement networks, including civil society, 
the private sector, and local and regional gov-
ernments on the dangerous potential of wildlife 
markets as a source of zoonotic diseases and re-
duce demand for the consumption of wildlife 
through evidence-based behavior change pro-
grams, while ensuring that existing wildlife 
habitat is not encroached upon or destroyed as 
part of this process; 
(C) encourage and support alternative 
forms of sustainable food production, farming, 
and shifts to sustainable sources of protein and 
nutrition instead of terrestrial wildlife, where 
able and appropriate, and reduce consumer de-
mand for terrestrial and freshwater wildlife 
through enhanced local and national food sys-
tems, especially in areas where wildlife markets 
play a significant role in meeting subsistence
1735 
needs while ensuring that existing wildlife habi-
tat is not encroached upon or destroyed as part 
of this process; and 
(D) strive to increase biosecurity and hygi-
enic standards implemented in farms, gathering 
centers, transport, and market systems around 
the globe, especially those specializing in the 
provision of products intended for human con-
sumption.

ganizations, international partners, private sector part-
ners, and nongovernmental organizations to carry out ac-
tivities supporting the following objectives, recognizing 
that multiple interventions will likely be necessary to make 
an impact, and that interventions will need to be tailored 
to the situation to—
1736 
(1) pursuant to section 30804, close wildlife 
markets and prevent associated commercial trade in 
live wildlife, placing a priority focus on countries 
with significant markets for live wildlife for human 
consumption, high-volume commercial trade and as-
sociated markets, trade in and across urban centers, 
and trade for luxury consumption or where there is 
no dietary necessity—

and agreements; 
(B) by amending existing protocols or 
agreements; 
(C) by pursuing new protocols; or 
(D) by other means of international coordi-
nation; 
(2) improve regulatory oversight and reduce 
commercial trade in live wildlife and eliminate prac-
tices identified to contribute to zoonotic spillover and 
emerging pathogens; 
(3) prevent commercial trade in live wildlife 
through programs that combat wildlife trafficking 
and poaching, including by— 
(A) providing assistance to improve law en-
forcement;

such wildlife and wildlife products; 
(4) leverage strong United States bilateral rela-
tionships to support new and existing inter-Ministe-
rial collaborations or Task Forces that can serve as 
regional One Health models; 
(5) build local agricultural and food safety ca-
pacity by leveraging expertise from the United 
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and in-
1738 
stitutions of higher education with agricultural or 
natural resource expertise; 
(6) work through international organizations to 
develop a set of objective risk-based metrics that 
provide a cross-country comparable measure of the 
level of risk posed by wildlife trade and marketing 
and can be used to track progress nations make in 
reducing risks, identify where resources should be 
focused, and potentially leverage a peer influence ef-
fect; 
(7) prevent the degradation and fragmentation 
of forests and other intact ecosystems to minimize 
interactions between wildlife and human and live-
stock populations that could contribute to spillover 
events and zoonotic disease transmission, including 
by providing assistance or supporting policies to, for 
example—

nous People and local communities and their 
ability to continue their effective stewardship of 
their traditional lands and territories;
1739 
(C) support the establishment and effective 
management of protected areas, prioritizing 
highly intact areas; and 
(D) prevent activities that result in the de-
struction, degradation, fragmentation, or con-
version of intact forests and other intact eco-
systems and biodiversity strongholds, including 
by governments, private sector entities, and 
multilateral development financial institutions; 
(8) offer appropriate alternative livelihood and 
worker training programs and enterprise develop-
ment to wildlife traders, wildlife breeders, and local 
communities whose members are engaged in the 
commercial trade in live wildlife for human con-
sumption; 
(9) ensure that the rights of Indigenous Peoples 
and local communities are respected and their au-
thority to exercise these rights is protected; 
(10) strengthen global capacity for prevention, 
prediction, and detection of novel and existing 
zoonoses with pandemic potential, including the sup-
port of innovative technologies in coordination with 
the United States Agency for International Develop-
ment, the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
1740 
tion, and other relevant departments and agencies; 
and 
(11) support the development of One Health 
systems at the local, regional, national, and global 
levels in coordination with the United States Agency 
for International Development, the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention, and other relevant de-
partments and agencies, particularly in emerging in-
fectious disease hotspots, through a collaborative,
