Bipartisan US Senate bill introduced that would require online retailers to disclose products’ country of origin
WASHINGTON - Senator Tammy Baldwin recently reintroduced legislation that would require online retailers to disclose where products are made.
Baldwin said Americans have a right to know if products they are purchasing are made in America and could help support sales of American-made goods. Wisconsin small business owner Noel Valdes also supports the legislation after overseas companies in China and Europe started making knock off products based on garden tools his business makes.
After stalling out in the House in the last Congress, Senator Baldwin said they are trying to pass the bill again.
