ACC SoCal Webinar: Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act: Guidance and Response Strategies

Webinar | 04.06.22, 4:00 AM PDT - 5:00 AM PDT

Partners Evan Chuck and David Stepp will weigh in on the passage of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) that is causing many multinational companies to closely audit their supply chains. This webinar will provide perspectives from the front lines and offer guidance to meet the enhanced requirements imposed by supply chains facing increasing regulatory and public scrutiny.

Topics include:

  • Details of the UFLPA, including its rebuttable presumption that any product with any nexus with Xinjiang or with trafficked Uyghurs is make with forced labor and thereby prohibited from import into the U.S.
  • Recommendations on how companies should prepare now for the June 21, 2022, implementation of the UFLPA.
  • How companies should approach compliance under the UFLPA in light of China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law banning Chinese companies and individuals from complying with “discriminatory restrictive measures,” such as the UFLPA.

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
