Preventing Child Labor Exploitation in Federal Contracting Act

This bill says the federal government cannot give contracts to companies that have broken child labor laws and haven't fixed the problem. Companies that want government contracts, along with their subcontractors, would have to report each year whether they've been found to have violated child labor laws in the past three years. The Department of Labor would keep a public list of companies that broke these laws and didn't take corrective action, and those companies would be blocked from getting government contracts for at least four years. The bill also increases the fines for violating certain child labor rules.
