Bill aims to reveal profits of slavery

HOUSE BILL 1006
Short Title: State Contracts/Slavery Profits.(Public)
Sponsors:Representatives Womble; and Jones.
Referred to: State Government.
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT requiring companies entering into contracts with state departments to examine their records for evidence of participation in or profiting from slavery.

Jones said the bill was modeled on a similar California law that led insurance companies to acknowledge their involvement in slavery. The goal, Jones said, would be to prompt those companies to either make apologies or prompt them to donate to or participate in local nonprofits that benefit the African American community. However, the bill doesn't require any specific sort of redress.
