eral agency’s core values and inherently harmful and

requirements and menu of topics to be covered in

no later than 18 months after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act; 
(2) both labor and sex trafficking should be 
covered in the staff trainings and include how to 
prevent, identify, and report trafficking in persons; 
(3) agencies that already provide counter traf-
ficking-in-persons training for staff should share 
their curricula with ones that do not have one; 
(4) the head of each agency should inform all 
candidates for employment about the anti-trafficking 
provisions in the Code of Conduct of the agency;

file of the employee; and 
(6) violation of the Code of Conduct should lead 
to disciplinary action up to and including termi-
nation of employment.

steps as may be necessary to ensure that each officer and 
employee (including temporary employees, persons sta-
tioned abroad while working for the United States, and 
details from other agencies of the Federal Government)

ernment is subject to a policy with a minimum standard

ernment in a full-time or part-time capacity.
