The Impact of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

Abstract

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (CTSCA) as enacted gives a platform for companies in California making over 100 million dollars a year to display their readiness to cope with the ongoing problem of forced labor globally. Slavery has been outlawed in the United States at both state and federal levels since the American Civil War. The CTSCA is not trying to outlaw slavery. California legislators enacted the CTSCA to tackle where supply chain slavery was involved in consumer shopping. The CTSCA has and will continue to influence lawmakers, corporations, and non governmental agencies in the United States and abroad.
