Bill > HR4113

This bill, named the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025, proposes several key modifications to existing anti-human trafficking laws and programs. It extends and updates the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, making changes to how the United States tracks and combats human trafficking internationally. The bill extends funding for anti-trafficking programs through 2029, increases authorized funding levels (for instance, raising authorization from $13.8 million to $23 million annually), and modifies the "Tier" classification system countries receive based on their efforts to combat trafficking. The bill introduces new reporting requirements, such as mandating information about organ trafficking in annual reports and ensuring a printed version of the trafficking report is available to the public. It also clarifies definitions of non-humanitarian foreign assistance and requires that foreign assistance efforts consider potential trafficking risks. Additionally, the bill strengthens provisions to prevent assistance from inadvertently contributing to trafficking conditions, requires the Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking to report directly to the Secretary of State, and allocates up to $37.5 million specifically for programs aimed at ending modern slavery. These changes aim to improve the United States' comprehensive approach to preventing human trafficking and supporting victims globally.
