This bill, the Business Supply Chain Transparency on Trafficking and Slavery Act of 2020, requires certain large companies that issue securities to publicly disclose their efforts to prevent forced labor, slavery, human trafficking, and child labor within their supply chains. It mandates detailed reporting on policies, audits, and remedial actions taken to identify and address these issues, aiming to provide consumers and investors with greater information about the human rights impact of products.
