Enhanced Accountability in Government Contracts: Combating Human Trafficking.
This act strengthens rules against human trafficking in government contracts. It means companies working with the government will need to report more frequently on how they prevent human trafficking and what actions they take if such incidents occur. The goal is to protect individuals who might become victims of human trafficking within government-funded projects.
Key points
Companies contracting with the government will need to provide more frequent and detailed reports on their anti-trafficking efforts.
If human trafficking is detected, companies must promptly report incidents and remedial actions taken.
Inspectors will be required to investigate reported human trafficking cases and take appropriate actions, including suspending payments to non-compliant companies.
The government will study how to better assess human trafficking risks in various industries and regions, and how to improve training for officials.
