S 4007 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Put Trafficking Victims First Act of 2024

This bill directs federal agencies to improve support for human trafficking victims and prosecute traffickers more effectively. It requires training for law enforcement to avoid arresting victims, promotes trauma-informed victim services, and establishes a working group to develop better data collection methods on trafficking prevalence. The bill mandates reports on victim restitution efforts and encourages states to adopt protections like victim-centered care, 24-hour emergency response plans, and record-clearing for trafficking survivors. It does not authorize new funding, instead directing existing resources toward these goals to benefit victims, service providers, and law enforcement agencies.
