Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger court help for trafficking victims
Courts must order convicted traffickers to pay victims restitution. Courts also require the offender to pay for a psychological evaluation and any needed counseling by licensed providers. Experts can testify about how trafficking affects a victim’s beliefs and behavior. If you were a trafficking victim at the time of the alleged offense, you can raise an affirmative defense in criminal or juvenile court.
Harsher sentences for human traffickers
The law raises penalties for human trafficking. For adult victims, judges can impose at least 5 years in prison, up to life, and fines up to $100,000. If the victim is under 18, the minimum is 10 years, up to life or life without parole, and fines up to $250,000. People convicted must serve 85% of the sentence before parole and cannot get suspended or deferred sentences; only limited achievement credits apply with required good behavior. Defendants cannot claim the victim consented or say they did not know the victim’s age.
New rules and funding for victim services
The Attorney General’s Victim Services Unit now oversees human trafficking services along with domestic violence and sexual assault. The law spells out which programs qualify, including shelters and those that provide counseling and case management. In counties with multiple programs, only programs that run shelters get state grants from this unit. Programs must be certified under AG rules, pay a $150 application fee, can be certified for up to 3 years, and are subject to inspections. The AG or a district attorney can seek court orders to stop noncompliant programs. Data sent to the AG about these services is confidential and used only in anonymous form.
Broader definition of trafficking and coercion
The law expands what counts as coercion and trafficking. It now includes destroying or holding IDs, controlling access to addictive drugs, blackmail, and dictating times or places for commercial sex. It also clarifies terms like commercial sex and debt bondage. These clearer rules help police, courts, and victims identify trafficking.
