AI Summary
This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to expand the permissible uses of Byrne JAG (Justice Assistance Grant) program funds. Specifically, the bill allows grant money to be used for programs that combat human trafficking, with a particular focus on reducing the demand for trafficked persons. The Byrne JAG program provides federal funding to state and local law enforcement agencies to support a range of criminal justice initiatives. By adding this new authorized use, the bill aims to provide additional resources for law enforcement to address human trafficking by targeting the economic drivers of this crime, namely the individuals who create demand for trafficked persons. The bill is relatively short and straightforward, making a targeted amendment to existing law to support anti-trafficking efforts.
