American Apparel & Footwear Association Applauds Textile and Apparel Procurement Fairness Act

The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) applauded the introduction of the Department of Defense (DOD) Textile and Apparel Procurement Fairness Act (H.R. 2312), legislation that would level the playing field for government contractors who outfit American servicemen and women by limiting the government contracting preference currently enjoyed by federally-incarcerated inmates. The legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representative Walter Jones (R-NC) and Representative Larry Kissell (D-NC).
