Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Public trafficking data by state and county

If enacted, DOJ would post a public website with human trafficking data for each State and county. Covered State agencies that get grants would send initial data within 1 year of enactment. Starting with FY2025, they would send yearly data within 90 days after the fiscal year ends. DOJ would publish the site within 18 months and update it and report to Congress within 180 days after each fiscal year. Data would include arrests, prosecutions, convictions, aggregated hotline and agency data, names and main services of local anti‑trafficking groups, county rankings by rate, and federal cases. Agencies would have to explain any missing data and may coordinate with federal and State partners. The bill also defines key terms like “covered State agency” and “anti‑trafficking organization.”

Grants to states for trafficking data

This bill would let the Office for Victims of Crime give grants to State agencies to collect and report trafficking data. Agencies must apply and, within 180 days of getting a grant, explain how they will collect and report the required data. Grant money could be used only for data collection and reporting. The Director would issue guidance within 180 days after enactment. It authorizes $50 million each year for FY2025 to FY2028 for grants, plus $1 million each year for publishing and reports. The funds would remain available until spent.

Strong privacy rules for survivor data

If enacted, any State agency that gets a grant would have to protect the privacy and safety of survivors and their families when collecting and reporting data. DOJ and grantee agencies would not be allowed to demand, access, or share personally identifying information about survivors. DOJ also would not be allowed to use the database data to decide funding.
