Public contracts: anti-trafficking.
Summary
Existing law establishes specified requirements applicable to contracts entered into by state agencies, including, among other things, that a contractor certify that no apparel, garments, corresponding accessories, equipment, materials, or supplies furnished to the state pursuant to a contract has been laundered or produced by various unauthorized and exploitive labor conditions, such as sweatshops, as prescribed. This bill would prohibit a contractor, as defined, that has entered into a contractual relationship with a public entity from engaging in trafficking-related activities, including destroying, concealing, confiscating, or otherwise denying access to the employee's identity documents, such as passports or drivers' licenses.
