Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the sale at retail or at wholesale of goods mined, produced, or manufactured in the Xinjiang region of China unless 1) the U.S. Customs and Border Protection bureau determines that the good was not mined, produced, or manufactured with forced labor; 2) the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation determines that the good was not mined, produced, or manufactured with forced labor; or 3) a federal law allows the sale of the good.
Under the bill, WEDC must establish policies and procedures providing due diligence and supply chain tracing and management standards ensuring that goods transported into this state were not mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part by forced labor in the Xinjiang region of China. The bill also authorizes WEDC to request information from a person who transports goods into this state to determine whether the goods were mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part by forced labor in the Xinjiang region of China.
