AI Summary

This bill aims to promote safety for victims of violent crime and human trafficking. It establishes provisions for certifying officials from various entities, such as law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, to complete I-918 Supplement B and I-914 Supplement B certification forms. These forms are used to help victims of qualifying crimes or severe forms of human trafficking obtain U nonimmigrant status or T nonimmigrant status, respectively, which provides temporary legal status and work authorization. The bill outlines the requirements and procedures for these certifications, including timelines, notification of denials, and restrictions on disclosing the victim's immigration status or address. It also empowers the Attorney General to investigate and resolve complaints of violations and to seek civil penalties or other relief.
