SEC. 234. PREVENTION OF TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS INVOLVING WORKERS 
              RECRUITED ABROAD.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Foreign labor contractors are increasingly relied upon 
        to facilitate the movement of labor from one country to 
        another.
            (2) While many foreign labor contractors behave ethically 
        and are engaged in lawful conduct, certain foreign labor 
        contractors are often complicit with or directly involved in 
        trafficking of workers.
            (3) Some contractors charge exorbitant fees for their 
        services, force workers into debt bondage, falsify documents, 
        and deceive workers about their terms and conditions of work, 
        increasing workers' vulnerability to human trafficking.
            (4) Stricter regulation of labor recruiters is needed to 
        protect workers entering the United States from human 
        trafficking and other abuses. Stronger legal frameworks will 
        ensure the integrity of the American economy, which is 
        undermined when unregulated actors conspire to fraudulently 
        deceive workers about the terms and conditions of work.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Foreign labor contractor.--The term ``foreign labor 
        contractor'' means any person who performs any foreign labor 
        contracting activity, including any person who performs foreign 
        labor contracting activity wholly outside of the United States, 
        except that the term does not include a United States 
        governmental entity of the United States Government.
            (2) Foreign labor contracting activity.--The term ``foreign 
        labor contracting activity'' means recruiting, soliciting, 
        hiring, employing, managing, or furnishing, processing visa 
        applications for, transporting, or housing an individual who 
        resides outside of the United States to be employed in the 
        United States, including when such activity occurs wholly 
        outside of the United States.
            (3) Person.--The term ``person'' means any natural person 
        or any corporation, company, firm, partnership, joint stock 
        company or association or other organization or entity (whether 
        organized under law or not), including municipal corporations.
            (4) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of Labor.
            (5) Worker.--The term ``worker'' means an individual who is 
        the subject of foreign labor contracting activity.
    (c) Disclosure.--Any person who engages in foreign labor 
contracting activity shall ascertain and disclose in writing in English 
and in the language of the worker being recruited, to each worker who 
is recruited for employment, at the time of the worker's recruitment, 
the following information:
            (1) The identity of the employer and the identity of the 
        person conducting the recruiting on behalf of the employer, 
        including any subcontractor or agent involved in such 
        recruiting.
            (2) A signed copy of the work contract, including all 
        assurances and terms and conditions of employment, from the 
        prospective employer for whom the worker is being recruited. 
        The contract shall include--
                    (A) the level of compensation to be paid;
                    (B) the place and period of employment;

                employment activities;
                    (D) any withholdings or deductions from 
                compensation, whether on behalf of a government, the 
                employer, or a third party; and
                    (E) any penalties for early termination of 
                employment.
            (3) The type of visa under which the foreign worker is to

                    (B) any other costs, expenses or deductions to be

            (5) A statement, in a form specified by the Secretary--
                    (A) stating that no foreign labor contractor, or 
                agent or employee of a foreign labor contractor, can 
                lawfully assess any fee (including visa fees, 
                processing fees, transportation fees, legal expenses, 
                placement fees, and other costs) to a worker for any 
                foreign labor contracting activity; and that the 
                employer may bear such costs or fees for the foreign 
                labor contractor, but that these fees cannot be 
                assessed along to the worker;
                    (B) explaining that--
                            (i) no additional requirements or changes 
                        may be made from the terms of the contract 
                        originally signed by the worker unless the 
                        worker is provided at least 48 hours to review 
                        and consider the additional requirements or 
                        changes;
                            (ii) no such additional requirements or 
                        changes can be made to the original contract 
                        signed by the worker without the specific 
                        consent of the worker to each such additional 
                        requirement or change; and
                            (iii) such consent must be obtained 
                        voluntarily and without threat of penalty or

        during the training period, including the rate of pay.
            (7) Any other information that the Secretary may require by 
        regulation.

        Secretary under paragraph (4).
            (2) Exception for certain employers.--An employer, or

                contractor; and
                    (E) any other requirements that the Secretary may

                assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this 
                section.
                    (C) Bonding requirement.--The Secretary may require

                        deposit account and shall be paid, on order of 
                        the Secretary, directly to each worker 
                        affected. Any such sums not paid to a worker 
                        because of inability to do so within a period 
                        of 5 years shall be credited as an offsetting 
                        collection to the appropriations account of the

                        exploited persons.

                        represent the Secretary of Labor in any civil 
                        litigation brought under this paragraph. All 
                        such litigation shall be subject to the

                    (C) Actions by individuals.--
                            (i) Award.--If the court finds in a civil 
                        action filed by an individual under this 
                        subsection that the defendant has violated any

                        and including an amount equal to the amount of 
                        actual damages, or statutory damages of up to 
                        $1,000 per plaintiff per violation, or other 
                        equitable relief, except that with respect to

                                a regulation under this section) shall 
                                constitute only 1 violation for 
                                purposes of determining the amount of 
                                damages due a plaintiff; and
                                    (II) if such complaint is certified 
                                as a class action, the court may award 
                                damages up to an amount equal to the

                                damages of no more than the lesser of 
                                up to $1,000 per violation, or up to 
                                $500,000, or other equitable relief;

                                costs.
                            (ii) Criteria.--In determining the amount

                        (i), the court is authorized to consider 
                        whether an attempt was made to resolve the 
                        issues in dispute before the resort to 
                        litigation.
                            (iii) Appeal.--Any civil action brought 
                        under this section shall be subject to appeal 
                        as provided in chapter 83 of title 28, United 
                        States Code (28 U.S.C. 1291 et seq.).
                            (iv) Access to legal services 
                        corporation.--Notwithstanding any other

            (4) Agency liability.--
                    (A) In general.--Beginning 180 days after the

                to subsection (f)(4), an employer who retains the 
                services of a foreign labor contractor shall only use 
                those foreign labor contractors who are registered 
                under subsection (f). An employer who uses a foreign 
                labor contractor who is not registered under subsection 
                (f) after such time period, or who uses a foreign labor 
                contractor that has violated any provision of this 
                section, shall be subject to the provisions of this 
                subsection for violations committed by such foreign 
                labor contractor to the same extent as if the employer 
                were the foreign labor contractor who had committed the 
                violation.
                    (B) Safe harbor.--An employer shall not have any 
                liability under this subsection if the employer hires 
                only workers referred by a foreign labor contractor 
                that has a valid registration with the Department of 
                Labor pursuant to subsection (f), the employer does not 
                act with deliberate disregard of the fact that the 
                foreign labor contractor has violated any provision of 
                this section, and if the employer obtained knowledge of 
                a violation of the provisions of this section, it 
                immediately reported the violation to the Secretary.
            (5) Retaliation.--
                    (A) In general.--No person shall intimidate, 
                threaten, restrain, coerce, discharge or in any other 
                manner discriminate or retaliate against any worker or 
                their family members (including a former employee or an 
                applicant for employment) because such worker disclosed 
                information to any person that the worker reasonably 
                believes evidences a violation of this section (or any 
                rule or regulation pertaining to this section), 
                including seeking legal assistance of counsel or 
                cooperating with an investigation or other proceeding 
                concerning compliance with this section (or any rule or 
                regulation pertaining to this section).
                    (B) Enforcement.--An individual who is subject to 
                any conduct described in subparagraph (A) may, in a 
                civil action, recover appropriate relief (including 
                reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to that 
                violation. Any civil action under this subparagraph 
                shall be stayed during the pendency of any criminal 
                action arising out of the violation.
            (6) Presence during pendency of actions.--The Attorney 
        General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall grant 
        parole to the nonimmigrant to remain legally in the United 
        States for time sufficient to fully and effectively participate 
        in all legal proceedings related to any action taken pursuant 
        to this subsection. Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security 
        shall promulgate regulations to carry out this provision.
            (7) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to preempt or alter any other rights or remedies, 
        including any causes of action, available under any other 
        Federal or State law.
