US health department removes old rules, adds human trafficking provisions

The US Department of Health and Human Services is updating its internal conduct rules. It is removing outdated sections and adding new requirements related to counter-trafficking in persons.

This document cleans up the internal rulebook for a major US government agency. It ensures that the rules governing employee conduct are consistent with current laws and policies. The explicit inclusion of counter-trafficking in persons provisions means that all employees are now formally bound by these specific standards.
