Bars the Department of Homeland Security from using funds after October 1, 2027 to buy batteries made by a specific list of foreign companies or their subsidiaries, unless the Secretary grants an exception. Limited waivers are allowed for safety/availability reasons or for research, but the Secretary must notify Congress quickly when waivers are used and must report within 180 days after enactment on mission and cost impacts to DHS components that rely on batteries.
