Companies with government contracts would face tougher rules and investigations to stop human trafficking.
This bill would make it harder for human trafficking to happen in government contracting. It would require companies working with the government to submit their anti-trafficking plans upfront and immediately report any incidents. Government watchdogs would then have to investigate these reports, and agencies could stop payments to companies that don't fix trafficking problems.
Today, companies with federal contracts must make their anti-trafficking plans available upon request. After this bill, they would have to submit these plans when they certify their compliance and immediately report any trafficking incidents. Today, investigations into trafficking may occur; after this bill, they would be mandatory for all reported incidents, and agencies would gain the power to suspend payments to non-compliant companies.
