AI Summary
This bill aims to eradicate human trafficking and promote transparency in the retail supply chain. It requires retail sellers and manufacturers doing business in Massachusetts with annual worldwide gross receipts exceeding $100 million to disclose their efforts to address human trafficking risks in their direct supply chains. The bill defines key terms like "doing business in the commonwealth," "gross receipts," "manufacturer," and "retail seller." It mandates that disclosures be posted on the company's website or provided to consumers upon request, covering areas such as supply chain verification, supplier audits, supplier certifications, internal accountability standards, and employee training. Violations of this law can be addressed through actions brought by the state Attorney General for injunctive relief.
