A new law aims to shed light on companies' historical ties to slavery. This law applies to major companies and requires them to disclose certain information. Authored by a Democrat, the legislation was a priority for a legislative caucus. Companies will need to reveal if they or their predecessors were involved in enslavement-related transactions.

The law is the first of its kind and will impact companies operating in a particular state. Its provisions are intended to provide transparency about corporate involvement in the slave economy.

Further details about the law and its implications are available from the source.
