sons or forced labor.

Order 
13627, 
Strengthening Protections Against Trafficking In 
Persons In Federal Contracts, and title XVII of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2013 (Public Law 112–239) have prohibited Federal 
contractors, subcontractors, and their employees 
from engaging in the following trafficking-related ac-
tivities: charging labor recruitment fees; confiscating 
passports and other identity documents of workers; 
and using fraudulent recruitment practices, includ-
ing failing to disclose basic information or making 
material misrepresentations about the terms and 
conditions of employment. Such Executive order and 
Acts also require Federal contractors, subcontrac-
tors, and their employees to maintain an anti-traf-
ficking compliance plan that includes, among other 
elements, a complaint mechanism and procedures to 
prevent subcontractors at any tier from engaging in 
trafficking in persons.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) forced labor, slavery, human trafficking, 
and the worst forms of child labor are among the 
most egregious forms of abuse that humans commit 
against each other, for the sake of commercial prof-
it; 
(2) the legislative and regulatory framework to 
prevent goods produced by forced labor, slavery, 
human trafficking, and the worst forms of child 
labor from passing into the stream of commerce in 
the United States is gravely inadequate; 
(3) legislation is necessary to provide consumers 
information on products that are free of child labor, 
forced labor, slavery, and human trafficking; and 
(4) through publicly available disclosures, busi-
nesses and consumers can avoid inadvertently pro-
moting or sanctioning these crimes through produc-
tion and purchase of goods and products that have 
been tainted in the supply chains.
