AI Summary
This bill amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to repeal the requirement for public companies to disclose information related to their use of "conflict minerals" - minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. The term "conflict minerals" refers to certain minerals that may have been mined using forced labor or under conditions that fund armed groups in that region. The bill aims to eliminate these disclosure requirements, which were intended to increase transparency and limit the trade of minerals that may be financing conflict and human rights abuses.
