  Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) introduced a bill aimed at closing gaps in federal rules that allow human trafficking to continue in government contracting.

Senator James Lankford has introduced the "End Human Trafficking in Government Contracting Act" aimed at preventing human trafficking within government contracts. This legislation seeks to enhance transparency and accountability by requiring federal contractors to certify that they do not engage in human trafficking or forced labor. The bill also mandates the inclusion of anti-trafficking provisions in all federal contracts, increases penalties for violations, and requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report on the effectiveness of these measures. Additionally, it calls for the establishment of a centralized database to track violations and compliance. The initiative has garnered bipartisan support, reflecting a commitment to eradicate human trafficking from supply chains linked to federal spending.
