Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2024

The Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2024 requires the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime (in coordination with the Administration for Children and Families) to put into action the anti-trafficking recommendations from a December 2023 Government Accountability Office report within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. This directly affects federal agencies responsible for child trafficking programs and survivor support. The bill mandates that these agencies submit a detailed report to Congress 60 days after implementation, outlining specific steps taken to fulfill the recommendations. The legislation focuses on operationalizing existing GAO guidance rather than creating new programs or funding. It does not alter existing laws but establishes deadlines and reporting requirements for federal agencies.
