    core values and inherently harmful and dehumanizing.

    against Federal law.

    training of such agency;

    in-persons training for staff should share their curricula with 
    agencies that do not have such curricula;

    employment about the anti-trafficking provisions in the Code of 
    Conduct of the agency;
        (5) employees of each Federal agency should sign acknowledgment 
    of the agency's Code of Conduct, which should be kept in the file 
    of the employee; and
        (6) a violation of the Code of Conduct should lead to 
    disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that each officer and 
employee (including temporary employees, persons stationed abroad while

Government is subject to a policy with a minimum standard that 
contains--
        (1) a prohibition from engaging in human trafficking while 
    employed by the Government in a full-time or part-time capacity;
        (2) a requirement that all Federal personnel, without regard to 
    whether the person is stationed abroad, be sensitized to human 
    trafficking and the ethical conduct requirements that prohibit the 
    procurement of trafficking in persons;
        (3) a requirement that all such personnel be equipped with the 
    necessary knowledge and tools to prevent, recognize, report, and 
    address human trafficking offenses through a training for new 
    personnel and through regular refresher courses offered every 2 
    years; and
        (4) a requirement that all such personnel report to the 
    applicable inspector general and agency trafficking in persons 
    point of contact any suspected cases of misconduct, waste, fraud, 
    or abuse relating to trafficking in persons.
    (d) Timing.--The policy described in subsection (c)--
        (1) shall be established or integrated into all applicable 
    employee codes of conduct not later than 18 months after the date 
    of the enactment of this Act;

    contains more robust requirements than the requirements described 
    in subsection (c); and
        (3) shall be signed by all personnel described in subsection

include where reasonably possible--
                ``(i) a photo of the missing or abducted child or 
            youth;

    imposed by the amendment made by subsection (a), the State plan 
    shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of 
    such part solely on the basis of the failure of the plan to meet 
    such additional requirements before the first day of the first 
    calendar quarter beginning after the close of the first regular 
    session of the State legislature that begins after the date of 
    enactment of this Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in 
    the case of a State that has a 2-year legislative session, each
