Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Stronger trafficking enforcement for federal contractors

Agencies must now send any trafficking-related contract violation to their suspension and debarment official first. That official can suspend or bar a contractor from future federal work. Agencies can still take other steps, but the referral comes first. This raises the chance of suspension or debarment. The change takes effect upon enactment.
