Anti-Kickback Enforcement Act

The Anti-Kickback Enforcement Act of 1986 (Pub.L. 99–634, 100 Stat. 3523, enacted November 7, 1986, originally codified at 41 U.S.C. § 51 et seq., recodified at 41 U.S.C. ch. 87) modernized and closed the loopholes of previous statutes applying to government contractors. The law attempts to make the anti-kickback statute a more useful prosecutorial tool by expanding the definition of prohibited conduct and by making the statute applicable to a broader range of persons involved in government subcontracting.[1]
