Bill > HB3246

This bill amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to enhance mandatory sentences for human trafficking-related offenses, specifically focusing on involuntary servitude and involuntary sexual servitude of minors. The bill establishes more stringent prison terms for different levels of trafficking crimes, ranging from 2 to 60 years depending on the specific circumstances and severity of the offense. For involuntary servitude, the bill introduces mandatory minimum sentences based on the class of felony, with Class X felonies (the most serious) now requiring 12 to 60 years imprisonment. For involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, the bill sets mandatory sentences between 8 and 60 years, with harsher penalties for cases involving minors under 17 or involving force or threat. The bill also introduces aggravating factors that can increase sentences to 20-60 years if the trafficking involves kidnapping, aggravated criminal sexual assault, or attempted murder. Additionally, the bill requires mandatory restitution for victims and allows courts to consider factors like the duration of servitude and number of victims when determining sentences. Companies found to benefit from trafficking can also be fined up to $100,000.
