Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Federal contractors and grantees would have to turn in their anti-trafficking compliance plan when they certify they are following the rules, not only when asked.
- If a contractor, subcontractor, or agent is found to have been involved in trafficking-related conduct during a contract or grant, the contractor’s representative must quickly report it and explain what they did to fix it.
- When a report is filed, an agency Inspector General would be required to investigate what happened and whether the contractor’s fix was good enough.
- Agencies could pause payments until the contractor takes proper corrective steps, and key officials would be notified if an investigation isn’t finished because the contractor already corrected the problem.
- The federal budget office would have to report to Congress within 18 months on targeting more checks in high-risk contracts and locations, streamlining reports, and tracking anti-trafficking training for contracting staff.
