HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Provides relative to victims of human trafficking and prostitution offenses (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

Replaced the term 'child' with 'person under the age of eighteen years' in multiple sections to ensure consistent and precise legal definitions regarding minors.

Added explicit references to 'pursuant to R.S. 46:2161' in numerous sections to legally anchor the definition and status of trafficking victims.

Updated the list of statutes in the bill's preamble to include R.S. 46.3(A)(1) alongside R.S. 46.3(E), broadening the scope of referenced trafficking laws.

The list of bill sponsors was reduced from dozens of representatives and senators to a single representative.

Legal citations were updated to include new sections (83.4 and 83.5) and to specify 'paragraph' references where previously omitted.

The affirmative defense for trafficking victims was expanded to explicitly cover offenses involving massage and solicitation.

The law now presumes that any child engaged in prostitution is a victim of human trafficking, making them exempt from criminal responsibility.

Children identified as trafficking victims are now explicitly eligible for specialized services for sexually exploited children.

The list of bill sponsors was updated to include additional representatives and senators compared to the engrossed version.

The document header was changed from 'ENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

The original list of sponsors from the engrossed version was removed as it was replaced by the final enrolled list.
