The bill text was converted from the House version to the Senate floor version, involving layout adjustments and the addition of a co-sponsor. Substantive policy changes include the addition of a new definition for 'legal process' to clarify its scope and a minor formatting adjustment to the definition of 'human trafficking for commercial sex' to ensure grammatical consistency.

Adjusted the punctuation in the definition of 'human trafficking for commercial sex' to ensure the list of actions is grammatically complete.
