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.
