While most of the UK Act addresses the violations and sanctions against those directly engaged in the criminal activities of slavery and human trafficking, the UK Act includes a new corporate reporting obligation that is modeled on a 2010 California law. The UK Act's new corporate reporting obligation is similar in content and structure to, and appears to borrow in significant part from, California's Transparency in Supply Chain Act (SB 657), enacted in 2010. The California law required corporations to comply by January 1, 2012, and the new UK Act requires compliance by October 15, 2015. There are some differences in the compliance required by both jurisdictions, but it appears possible for sellers of products into both jurisdictions to comply with both laws with some coordination.
