## Summary

**Creates a national database to track human trafficking data.** The bill would place the database inside the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime and set rules for how states report and share data. - State agencies would be eligible for grants to collect and submit trafficking data. The bill authorizes $50.0 million per year plus $1.0 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2028 to support that work. - Survivors and families would get confidentiality protections that bar agencies from demanding, accessing, or publicizing personally identifying information. - The database must include county-level counts, the name and primary service of local anti-human trafficking organizations, and ranking of counties. States must provide initial data within 1 year and DOJ must publish state databases within 18 months, and the program coordinates with federal partners like the National Human Trafficking Hotline and federal prosecutors. *Authorizes up to $50.0 million per year plus $1.0 million per year for FY2025–2028, increasing federal spending authority to build and run the database.*
