[excerpt]
Legislators in at least 36 states have introduced
more than 100 bills to restrict overseas outsourcing,
and legislation on the issue has also proliferated at
the federal level. Before moving further down this
path of passing or proposing more such measures,
policy makers should be fully informed and
confident that such actions are both legally sound
and capable of withstanding international challenge.
International concerns are significant since much
of the proposed legislation, if implemented,
could invite retaliation by other nations.
This study does not provide an exhaustive
analysis of every potential constitutional or other
legal challenge to the myriad state and federal
pending or existing legislation that prohibits
or restricts outsourcing. Its aim is to serve
as the beginning of a necessary dialogue that
transcends emotion and politics and highlights
the core constitutional and legal concerns
raised by proposed outsourcing legislation.
