Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 954, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
The law obligates textile, tobacco, railroad, shipping, rice, sugar, financial and insurance companies that do business in California and have worldwide revenue over $100 million to search their records for any transactions involving enslaved persons and to submit a sworn affidavit. The affidavits and related reports must be posted on a state‑run digital platform, and bidders for state contracts of $100,000 or more must certify that they have complied with the affidavit requirement. The measure aims to increase transparency about historic ties to slavery and give the Attorney General authority to enforce compliance.
