Protecting Federal Funds from Human Trafficking and Smuggling Act of 2022
This bill prohibits a nonprofit entity from receiving federal funds (and denies a tax exemption) unless the entity certifies compliance with certain federal laws (e.g., laws with respect to human trafficking and smuggling). It also establishes reporting requirements, including that the Government Accountability Office must annually report to Congress on those nonprofit entities that do not certify their compliance with these laws.
To direct the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to 
  require the disclosure of violations of Federal law with respect to 
     human trafficking or alien smuggling, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
