S 426

This bill, the Ensuring Accountability and Dignity in Government Contracting Act of 2025, strengthens federal efforts to combat human trafficking within government contracting. It requires recipients of federal grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements to submit detailed plans to prevent trafficking and promptly report any related activities. The bill also mandates that Inspectors General investigate these reports and, if appropriate remedial action isn't taken, agencies can suspend payments to the recipient. Finally, it directs the Office of Management and Budget to explore ways to enhance anti-trafficking assessments and reporting within federal agencies.
