Stronger Accountability: Fighting Human Trafficking in Government Contracts.

This law tightens oversight on companies and subcontractors receiving government contracts to prevent human trafficking. It mandates immediate reporting of any trafficking incidents discovered and requires Inspectors General to investigate such reports promptly. The goal is to ensure taxpayer funds do not support unethical practices and that contractors are held strictly accountable.
Key points
Government contractors must now immediately report any instances of human trafficking found within their operations or among their subcontractors.
If violations occur, the government can suspend payments to the company until corrective actions are taken, or exclude them entirely from future contracts.
The bill also requires a study on how to better train federal officials and assess the risk of human trafficking in high-risk contracts (e.g., Defense or Homeland Security).
