Bill > HR1144

This bill, named the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025, is comprehensive legislation aimed at combating human trafficking both domestically and internationally. The bill introduces several key provisions, including establishing the Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Prevention Education Grants to help local educational agencies develop programs to prevent child trafficking, and creating a Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Survivors Employment and Education Program to support trafficking victims through education, job training, life skills, and career assistance. The legislation extends and enhances existing anti-trafficking efforts by modifying grant programs, updating tier standards for tracking countries' anti-trafficking efforts, and expanding reporting requirements about trafficking, including new provisions about organ harvesting. The bill also increases funding for anti-trafficking initiatives, authorizing approximately $111 million for various programs from 2025 to 2029, and includes provisions to support both domestic and international efforts to prevent human trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers. Additionally, the bill requires more detailed reporting on trafficking prevention efforts, demographic data about victims, and mandates consultation with various government agencies to identify high-risk populations and develop targeted interventions.
