Companies working with the government would follow tougher rules to stop human trafficking.
This bill would make it tougher to stop human trafficking in government work. Companies with government contracts would need to report any trafficking incidents right away. Federal watchdogs would also get more power to investigate and halt payments if rules are broken. These changes would strengthen current laws meant to end trafficking in government deals.
Today, companies receiving federal money submit anti-trafficking compliance plans only when requested. This bill would require them to submit these plans at the time they certify their compliance and also immediately report any trafficking incidents they discover. Federal watchdogs would then be required to investigate these reports, and officials could suspend payments to companies that don't follow the rules, which is a new enforcement power.
