An Act eradicating human trafficking and promoting transparency in the retail supply chain
This bill requires large retailers and manufacturers in Massachusetts with over $100 million in annual revenue to publicly disclose their efforts to prevent human trafficking in their supply chains. Companies must post this information on their websites or provide it in writing to consumers upon request, detailing specific actions like supply chain verification, supplier audits, and employee training. The law applies to businesses that list retail trade or manufacturing as their primary activity on state tax returns and mandates that these disclosures explain the extent of their compliance with human trafficking laws. Violations of the transparency requirements can result in legal action by the state attorney general seeking an injunction.
