Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit individuals charged with human trafficking or drug trafficking offenses committed near the border of the United States from receiving Federal benefits.

AI Summary

This bill, the Stop Taxpayer Funding of Traffickers Act, would prohibit individuals charged with human trafficking or drug trafficking offenses near the border of the United States from receiving federal benefits, such as grants, contracts, loans, professional licenses, commercial licenses, retirement, welfare, Social Security, health, disability, veterans, public housing, or other similar benefits. The bill defines "covered trafficking offense" as a human trafficking or drug trafficking offense where any portion of the conduct occurred at a U.S. international border or within U.S. territorial waters. The prohibition on federal benefits would be terminated if the charges are dismissed or the individual is found not guilty of the covered trafficking offense, and the federal government would have to pay any withheld benefits in that case.
