To do business with L.A., city contractors now must disclose ties with the NRA

The L.A. City Council passed an ordinance Tuesday requiring companies that have contracts with the city to disclose whether they have ties to the National Rifle Assn., already prompting threats of a lawsuit.

[...]

Prospective contractors now must disclose under affidavit any contracts or sponsorships they or their subsidiaries have with the NRA. The city has similar policies about companies involved in the construction of President Trump’s proposed border wall and over the historic investment in or profits from slavery.

[...]

NRA disclosure law contains more than a dozen exemptions, including contracts involving the city’s pension funds and other investment agreements.

That way they can be throughly investigated.

If they have nothing to worry about, shouldn't be a problem.
