The author and sponsor explain that the bill defines prohibited conduct, requires contractor and subcontractor compliance certifications and policies, and establishes procedures for identifying and addressing trafficking in supply chains.

In response to a question, the author clarifies that the bill mirrors federal standards and does not treat prison labor or prison-made products as forced labor. The discussion concludes with an urge for co-authorship and an aye vote, followed by a motion to pass AB 381 to the Assembly Committee on Labor.
