TRUTH Act of 2006

The TRUTH Act of 2006 (H.R. 5376) would have required U.S. companies operating in foreign countries to publicly disclose detailed information about their international business activities. This mandate applied to any American corporation employing workers abroad, whether directly or through subcontractors, partners, or security forces.

For citizens and consumers, this bill aimed to increase transparency regarding how American companies treat workers and manage operations in other nations. By requiring public disclosure of these practices, the bill sought to hold U.S. nationals accountable for their global business conduct and provide the public with more information about the international impact of American commerce.
