Summary

The bill adds a condition to all Title X grants that recipients must obey any state or local laws that mandate reporting of child abuse, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or human trafficking. It forces grantees to adopt policies, training, screening and record‑keeping procedures, and gives federal officials the right to audit compliance. Failure to follow the rules can lead to repayment of funds and a three‑year ban on future Title X assistance.
