Abstract

"This Just In" piece on the "SweatFree" rules that were signed into law in 2003, prohibiting the state Division of Purchases from buying state uniforms and other supplies from sweatshops. The rules were never finalized because of a procedural error, and the Division of Purchases must now re-submit the rules. Anti-sweatshop advocates fear the new rules will result in relaxed standards. The state Division of Purchases will send the new SweatFree rules to the legislature's State and Local Government committee for review after September 6.
