Human Trafficking Amendments

The "Human Trafficking Amendments" bill aims to strengthen efforts to combat human trafficking in the United States. It includes provisions such as enhancing law enforcement tools to investigate and prosecute trafficking crimes, providing support services for victims, increasing penalties for traffickers, improving coordination among agencies, and raising public awareness about human trafficking. The bill seeks to address the growing issue of modern slavery and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation. If passed, it could lead to more effective prevention and prosecution of human trafficking cases while offering better support for survivors.
