The bill would require the Secretary of State to annually publish a list of PRC entities carrying out mining involving forced labor or causing environmental harm in certain African countries, and says it was introduced by "Mr. MILLER of Ohio."

The legislative text confirms Miller introduced a bill aimed at transparency and accountability for forced-labor and environmental abuses in mining operations abroad.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Miller publicly introduced the China-Africa Mining Transparency Act in his current term, and the bill text matches the promise to improve accountability and transparency in mining supply chains. However, the evidence shows introduction and sponsorship only, not enactment or completed policy change, so this is a serious legislative effort that falls short of full delivery.

never same_term A for effort

Miller made a serious same-term legislative attempt by introducing the China-Africa Mining Transparency Act, which directly matches the promise to support accountability and transparency in mining supply chains and prevent U.S. consumers or companies from unknowingly supporting abusive mining abroad. However, the available status indicates the measure was only introduced/referred and had not passed or been implemented as of May 14, 2026, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
