                                 AN ACT

 
  To authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2004 and 2005 for the 
  Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Trafficking Victims Protection 
Reauthorization Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Trafficking in persons continues to victimize countless 
        men, women, and children in the United States and abroad.
            (2) Since the enactment of the Trafficking Victims 
        Protection Act of 2000 (division A of Public Law 106-386), the 
        United States Government has made significant progress in 
        investigating and prosecuting acts of trafficking and in 
        responding to the needs of victims of trafficking in the United 
        States and abroad.
            (3) On the other hand, victims of trafficking have faced 
        unintended obstacles in the process of securing needed 
        assistance, including admission to the United States under 
        section 101(a)(15)(T)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality 
        Act.
            (4) Additional research is needed to fully understand the 
        phenomenon of trafficking in persons and to determine the most 
        effective strategies for combating trafficking in persons.
            (5) Corruption among foreign law enforcement authorities 
        continues to undermine the efforts by governments to 
        investigate, prosecute, and convict traffickers.
            (6) International Law Enforcement Academies should be more 
        fully utilized in the effort to train law enforcement 
        authorities, prosecutors, and members of the judiciary to 
        address trafficking in persons-related crimes.

SEC. 3. ENHANCING PREVENTION OF TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS.

    (a) Border Interdiction, Public Information Programs, and Combating 
International Sex Tourism.--Section 106 of the Trafficking Victims

            (2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new 
        subsections:
    ``(c) Border Interdiction.--The President shall establish and carry 
out programs of border interdiction outside the United States. Such 
programs shall include providing grants to foreign nongovernmental 
organizations that provide for transit shelters operating at key border 
crossings and that help train survivors of trafficking in persons to 
educate and train border guards and officials, and other local law 
enforcement officials, to identify traffickers and victims of severe 
forms of trafficking, and the appropriate manner in which to treat such 
victims. Such programs shall also include, to the extent appropriate, 
monitoring by such survivors of trafficking in persons of the 
implementation of border interdiction programs, including helping in 
the identification of such victims to stop the cross-border transit of 
victims. The President shall ensure that any program established under 
this subsection provides the opportunity for any trafficking victim who 
is freed to return to his or her previous residence if the victim so 
chooses.
    ``(d) International Media.--The President shall establish and carry 
out programs that support the production of television and radio 
programs, including documentaries, to inform vulnerable populations 
overseas of the dangers of trafficking, and to increase awareness of 
the public in countries of destination regarding the slave-like 
practices and other human rights abuses involved in trafficking, 
including fostering linkages between individuals working in the media 
in different countries to determine the best methods for informing such 
populations through such media.
    ``(e) Combating International Sex Tourism.--
            ``(1) Development and dissemination of materials.--The 
        President, pursuant to such regulations as may be prescribed, 
        shall ensure that materials are developed and disseminated to 
        alert travelers that sex tourism (as described in subsections 
        (b) through (f) of section 2423 of title 18, United States 
        Code) is illegal, will be prosecuted, and presents dangers to 
        those involved. Such materials shall be disseminated to 
        individuals traveling to foreign destinations where the 
        President determines that sex tourism is significant.
            ``(2) Monitoring of compliance.--The President shall 
        monitor compliance with the requirements of paragraph (1).
            ``(3) Feasibility report.--Not later than 180 days after 
        the date of the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection 
        Reauthorization Act of 2003, the President shall transmit to 
        the Committee on International Relations of the House of 
        Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
        Senate a report that describes the feasibility of such United 
        States Government materials being disseminated through public-
        private partnerships to individuals traveling to foreign 
        destinations.''; and
            (3) in subsection (f) (as redesignated), by striking 
        ``initiatives described in subsections (a) and (b)'' and 
        inserting ``initiatives and programs described in subsections 
        (a) through (e)''.
    (b) Termination of Certain Grants, Contracts and Cooperative 
Agreements.--Section 106 of such Act (as amended by subsection (a)) is 
further amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(g) Termination of Certain Grants, Contracts and Cooperative 
Agreements.--
            ``(1) Termination.--The President shall ensure that any 
        grant, contract, or cooperative agreement provided or entered 
        into by a Federal department or agency under which funds 
        described in paragraph (2) are to be provided to a private 
        entity, in whole or in part, shall include a condition that 
        authorizes the department or agency to terminate the grant, 
        contract, or cooperative agreement, without penalty, if the 
        grantee or any subgrantee, or the contractor or any 
        subcontractor (i) engages in severe forms of trafficking in 
        persons or has procured a commercial sex act during the period 
        of time that the grant, contract, or cooperative agreement is 
        in effect, or (ii) uses forced labor in the performance of the 
        grant, contract, or cooperative agreement.
            ``(2) Assistance described.--Funds referred to in paragraph 
        (1) are funds made available to carry out any program, project,
