Bill > S48

This bill, known as the "Stopping the Abuse, Victimization, and Exploitation of Girls Act" or the "SAVE Girls Act", establishes a federal grant program specifically designed to combat the smuggling and trafficking of children and young women. The bill authorizes the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to award grants to states, Indian tribes, local governments, and nonprofit victims' service organizations. The grant program's primary focus is twofold: first, to prevent the smuggling of children and young women between 12 and 24 years old across U.S. borders, and second, to provide support for those who have already been smuggled into the United States or are at risk of becoming victims of child sex trafficking or severe forms of human trafficking. The bill appropriates $50,000,000 to the Attorney General for these grants, which will remain available until expended. Additionally, the bill includes a rule of construction explicitly stating that nothing in the legislation can be interpreted as creating a private cause of action against the United States or its officers and employees.
