This regulation mandates that federal grants and cooperative agreements include specific conditions to combat trafficking in persons, requiring recipients to prevent severe forms of trafficking, forced labor, and related exploitative practices. Recipients must certify compliance with a detailed plan to prevent such activities, report any violations immediately to federal authorities, and ensure subrecipients adhere to these requirements. The regulation also defines key terms like severe forms of trafficking in persons and commercial sex act, and outlines severe penalties, including termination of awards, for non-compliance.
