What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
If a state or federal court enjoins any of the provisions described above, the bill
provides that no person may sell goods mined, produced, or manufactured in the
Xinjiang region of China without having a label affixed to the good's packaging
stating, “Made with slave labor."
