    The bill was first introduced in 2023.

    On Monday, Senators Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) reintroduced a bipartisan bill, the Preventing Child Labor Exploitation in Federal Contracting Act, which would seek to ensure that federal contractors comply with the child labor provisions of the FLSA.

    Annual reporting requirements. The bill, first introduced by the two Senators in 2023, would, among other things, require any entity that enters into a contract with a federal executive agency to represent, on an annual basis and to the best of the knowledge of the entity, whether, within the preceding three-year period, any final administrative merits determination, arbitral award or decision, or civil judgment, as defined in coordination with the Secretary of Labor, has been issued against the entity for any violation of Section 12 of the FLSA, relating to child labor.

    Corrective steps. In turn, a contractor that makes an affirmative response to the question would be required to report on steps it has taken to correct violations of or improve compliance.

    Penalties. Under the bill, it would be unlawful for a federal contractor to knowingly fail to make a required report, and violation could result in suspension and debarment proceedings, to be conducted by the suspension and debarment official of the Department of Labor.
