The Preventing Child Labor Exploitation in Federal Contracting Act aims to strengthen compliance with child labor laws among federal contractors. Its primary objective is to ensure that entities working with the federal government do not exploit child labor and to hold them accountable if they do. Key provisions of the Act include a requirement for federal contractors to certify annually whether they have faced any legal actions related to child labor violations in the past three years. This certification must also extend to subcontractors involved in the contract.
