Ensuring Accountability and Dignity in Government Contracting Act of 2025

Key Points

• Contractors and grantees would have to turn in anti-trafficking compliance plans when they certify, not only when asked.
• If a contractor or subcontractor finds trafficking-related misconduct during a contract, they must quickly report what happened and what they did to fix it.
• When a report is filed, the agency Inspector General would be required to investigate the misconduct and the contractor’s fix.
• Agencies could pause payments until the contractor takes proper steps to address the problem, and could move toward suspension or blocking future contracts.
• The budget office would report to Congress within 18 months on higher-risk contracting checks, simpler reporting, and better training tracking.
