The affidavit requires certification that the Contractor does not use or threaten physical force, restrain or confine persons without lawful authority, establish exploitative debt arrangements, confiscate identification documents, cause financial harm, engage in fraud or deceit for labor recruitment, or provide controlled substances for exploitation purposes. The affidavit must be executed under penalty of perjury with the authorized signature, printed name, title, and date of the signatory.
