September 27/Web: Preventing Slavery and Human Trafficking Within US Industries-Prevention Efforts and the CA Supply Chain Transparency Act #MCLE

Preventing slavery and human trafficking remains a problem for industry, enforcement agencies and other organizations responsible for monitoring and improving standards domestically. This enduring problem has inspired state laws such as the CA Supply Chain Transparency Act and pending federal legislation as well.
On September 27 from 2:00-3:30 P.M., ET, a panel of experts will discuss

• The services and industries that fall prey to sex and labor trafficking;
• What federal and state agencies monitor work force abuses, slavery and human trafficking violations; 
• What states are having the most impact and why; 
• Which companies are subject to the CA Supply Chain Transparency Act. 

Learn about best practices for coordinating government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in the prevention of slavery and human trafficking in the U.S., the pending Business Transparency on Trafficking and Slavery Act (HR 2759), and whether there is a role for U.S. companies in eliminating slavery and human trafficking here and abroad.
