Bill > S1155

This bill makes technical corrections to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 by modifying two specific cross-references within the existing law. Specifically, the bill changes references in Section 103 of the Act (codified at 22 U.S.C. 7102), which likely relates to definitions within the human trafficking statute. In paragraph (16), the bill replaces a reference to "paragraph (9)" with a reference to "paragraph (11)", and in paragraph (17), it replaces a reference to "paragraph (9) or (10)" with a reference to "paragraph (11) or (12)". These changes appear to be administrative in nature, intended to ensure that the internal citations within the law are accurate and point to the correct paragraphs, without substantively changing the law's meaning or impact. Such technical corrections are common in legislative practice to maintain the precision and clarity of statutory language.
