Bill Summary
To Add Human Trafficking To The Definitions Of Abuse And Sexual Abuse Within The Arkansas Juvenile Code Of 1989 And Child Maltreatment Act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Arkansas Juvenile Code of 1989 and the Child Maltreatment Act to add human trafficking to the definitions of "abuse" and "sexual abuse." Specifically, it defines human trafficking as recruiting, harboring, transporting, or obtaining a child for labor or services through force, fraud, or coercion, and the recruiting, harboring, transporting, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a child for the purpose of a commercial sex act. These changes ensure that victims of human trafficking are recognized and protected under Arkansas law.
