Preventing Child Labor Exploitation in Federal Contracting Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Latest action on S. 920: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that have federal contracts or want them. It also affects subcontractors and service providers that help perform federal contract work, because prime contractors would have to collect their compliance statements. Federal agencies and the Department of Labor would have new duties to track violations, negotiate fixes, train staff, and report results.
Why this matters: The bill matters because federal money could become harder to get for companies that break child labor laws and fail to fix the problem. It could push contractors to watch their own labor practices and their supply chains more closely. It could also make violations more costly through much higher fines. The results would depend on how agencies carry out the new rules without extra funding.
