S 2584 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act

The Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (S 2584) makes a $5,000 special assessment on non-indigent individuals or entities convicted of federal trafficking offenses permanent by removing a 2025 expiration date. Previously, this assessment was set to end on September 30, 2025, but the bill extends it indefinitely. The assessment applies in addition to existing fees under federal law and funds victim services. It directly affects federal trafficking convicts who are not indigent, ensuring ongoing support for victims without changing eligibility or offense scope.

MINOR

The Engrossed Senate version of S 2584 removes the sunset provision that limited the $5,000 special assessment for human trafficking convictions to the period from enactment through September 30, 2025. By striking the time limitation, the assessment becomes a permanent requirement rather than a temporary one. The remaining changes are formatting and numbering adjustments.

TIMELINE

Removed the sunset date of September 30, 2025 that had limited the $5,000 special assessment on non-indigent persons convicted of trafficking offenses under section 3014(a) of title 18. The assessment is now permanent with no expiration.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and spacing changes to section numbering throughout the bill (e.g., removing blank lines between sections, adjusting spacing after section numbers).
