HR 7318 United States House · 118th Congress

Save Our Girls from Sex Trafficking Act of 2024

HR 7318 establishes an interagency task force led by the Attorney General, collaborating with HHS, Treasury, Labor, Education, and Homeland Security, to coordinate prevention, victim support, and law enforcement response to domestic child sex trafficking. The bill mandates a 3-year federal study on trafficking causes, trafficker profiles, survivor impacts, and event-related risks, requiring a congressional report within 3 years. It authorizes multiple grant programs: schools and foster care systems receive funding for trafficking education, law enforcement gets training and diversion program support, and nonprofits receive grants for job training, long-term housing, counseling, and care facilities for survivors. These provisions directly affect children at risk of trafficking, survivors, and the agencies implementing prevention and support services.
