The bill prohibits the import, export, transportation, sale, receipt, acquisition, or purchase of donkeys or donkey hides for producing ejiao, as well as products containing ejiao. It imposes civil and criminal penalties for violations, including fines and imprisonment. The Act also mandates forfeiture of donkeys, donkey hides, and ejiao products involved in illegal trade.
