Bill > SB5114

This bill establishes a network of healing, support, and transition services for adults with lived experience of sex trafficking in Washington. The bill defines key terms, such as "adult with lived experience of sex trafficking" and "healing, support, and transition services." The bill requires the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy to administer funding for these services, with at least one provider located east and one west of the Cascade mountains. The service providers must meet certain requirements, such as providing culturally and linguistically responsive services, incorporating survivor leadership, and reporting data to the Office. The Office is also required to prioritize funding for underserved areas, support statewide coordination, and submit reports to the legislature on the services provided and their outcomes.
