Relating to: human trafficking and trafficking of a child and providing a penalty.

SB 266 amends Wisconsin law to create a new criminal penalty for individuals who knowingly profit from human trafficking. Specifically, it makes it a Class F felony to receive compensation from the earnings of victims subjected to debt bondage, prostitution, or commercial sex acts. This law directly affects traffickers or others who financially benefit from exploiting victims, with penalties applying to offenses committed on or after the law's effective date. The bill also clarifies that the new penalty applies to cases where prosecution time limits had not yet expired as of the effective date.
