Summary
Would have required the Department of General Services (DGS) to require a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) supplier for state vehicle fleets to certify that the raw materials utilized for the manufacturing of the supplied ZEVs were not mined by child labor. This bill would have also required the ZEV supplier to certify to DGS the locations and hourly wage of the workers that mined the raw materials. This bill also requires DGS to post on its website the specified information provided by the ZEV supplier. Held on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
