California to Require Businesses to Disclose Efforts to Eradicate Slavery and Human Trafficking
California has enacted the "California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010" (S.B. 657), which will require retail sellers and manufacturers that do business in California and that have over $100 million in annual worldwide gross receipts to publicly disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their direct supply chains for tangible goods offered for sale. The new law becomes effective on January 1, 2012.
