S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 748 2021-2022 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E (PREFILED) January 6, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sen. BIAGGI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection AN ACT to amend the general business law and the tax law, in relation to enacting the "New York State Transparency in Supply Chains Act", and to require businesses within the state to disclose their preventative measures against human trafficking THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York state transparency in supply chains act". § 2. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that human traf- ficking is a crime under state, federal and international law, and that these crimes exist in every country, including the United States, and the state of New York. As a result of the criminal nature of human traf- ficking, this crime is often difficult to uncover and track. Signif- icant legislative efforts have been made to capture and punish the perpetrators of this crime and also to ensure that victims of human trafficking are provided with the necessary rights and protections. However, legislative efforts to address the market for goods and products tainted by human trafficking have been lacking, with the market being a key impetus for these crimes. Studies have shown that a number of goods from all over the world are believed to be produced by forced labor or child labor in violation of international standards, and consumers and businesses are inadvertently promoting and sanctioning these crimes through the purchase of goods and products that have been tainted in the supply chain. Absent public available disclosures, consumers are at a disadvantage in being able to distinguish companies on the merits of their efforts to supply products free from the taint of human trafficking. Consumers are at a disadvantage in being able to force the eradication of human trafficking by way of their purchasing EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
