Stronger federal action to prevent child trafficking
If enacted, this would define “anti-trafficking recommendations” as those in a Government Accountability Office report from December 11, 2023.

They would develop strategies to prevent child trafficking and support survivors. They would set clear, objective, and measurable goals for child programs, using baseline data from grantees. The OVC Director would report the steps taken to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees within 180 days after enactment.
