- NEW!

Probably because it is only going to be law until this appropriations bill is replaced with another one and this is something that needs to be permanent. The amendment covers anybody that right now at this moment has a contract with anybody that has a contract with anybody that has a contract with anybody that has a contract with the US government. It doesn't specify defense contractors, it doesn't specify domestic or overseas contractors it says "...any existing or new Federal contract..."
Depending on how the contract is written this could apply to the guy that replaces the light bulbs in a Ranger station in Yellowstone Park.

Sec. 8118. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any existing or new Federal contract if the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier requires that an employee or independent contractor, as a condition of employment, sign a contract that mandates that the employee or independent contractor performing work under the contract or subcontract resolve through arbitration any claim under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any tort related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention.
How did your congressman/woman vote on the resolution to go to war in Libya? Or wasn't there a vote?
