Bill > HR1191

This bill amends the Child Soldier Prevention Act of 2008 to expand the definition of "child soldiers" to include police and other security forces, in addition to governmental armed forces. It prohibits the United States from providing assistance or licenses for direct commercial sales of military equipment to governments whose security forces recruit and use child soldiers. The Department of State must include such countries in its annual trafficking in persons report, and the Secretary of State must notify Congress when these prohibitions are applied or when waivers are granted.
