Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 4 p.m.
Summary
The bill adds a new civil‑code section and amends the public‑contract code to require firms with worldwide revenue over $100 million—such as textile, tobacco, railroad, shipping, rice, sugar, financial and insurance companies—to submit a sworn affidavit confirming they have searched their records for any transactions involving enslaved persons. It also forces any bidder on state contracts of $100 k or more to certify compliance. The goal is to increase transparency about corporate ties to slavery and give the state tools to enforce the disclosures.
