AI Summary

This bill, the IMPACTT Human Trafficking Act, aims to improve services for victims of human trafficking. It establishes two programs within the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): the Investigators Maintain Purposeful Awareness to Combat Trafficking Trauma (IMPACTT) Program and the Victim Assistance Program. The IMPACTT Program provides training to HSI employees on recognizing and addressing trauma, while the Victim Assistance Program recruits specialized personnel to support victims and coordinate victim-centered, trauma-informed services during HSI investigations. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit an annual report to Congress on the number of trainings provided and victims assisted through these programs. The bill has a sunset provision, meaning it will cease to have effect starting in October 2030.
