Relating to establishing criminal penalties for human trafficking

HB 2206 (West Virginia) increases criminal penalties for human trafficking offenses, directly affecting individuals convicted of trafficking adults or minors. The bill raises prison terms: for trafficking adults, it sets a 15-40 year sentence (up from 3-15 years), and for minors, 25-100 years (up from 5-20 years), with fines up to $300,000. It also restricts parole eligibility - no parole for offenses involving minors, and only half the sentence served for aggravating circumstances (e.g., targeting vulnerable youth). Additionally, the bill mandates restitution for victims and provides immunity from prosecution for juvenile victims.
