Calif. bill would air rail bidders¥" Holocaust role
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Companies hoping for a piece of California¥"s future high-speed rail project would have to disclose whether they transported Holocaust victims or POWs to Nazi camps during World War II, under a bill that passed the state Senate on Thursday.
The measure would require companies seeking contracts with the state¥"s High-Speed Rail Authority to reveal any involvement in transporting people to concentration, prisoner-of-war, labor or extermination camps. They also must report whether they took remedial steps for their action or paid restitution to victims.
The Senate voted 31-1 to approve AB619, sending it back to the Assembly for a final concurrence vote before it heads to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger¥"s desk.
The measure¥"s author, Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, said he hoped it would encourage companies to acknowledge past wrongdoing.
Any company that has failed to take responsibility for its participation in mass genocide should be made to disclose this fact before being considered for these lucrative contracts, the Woodland Hills Democrat said Thursday.
