Bill > HR4307

This bill, titled the "Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act," mandates that the Secretary of Labor establish a program within 180 days of enactment to train Department of Labor employees on how to identify and assist law enforcement in preventing human trafficking, which is defined by referring to a specific section of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. This training, which can be conducted online or in person, will cover current trends and best practices relevant to employees' job duties, including how to recognize potential victims and traffickers, and a clear process for referring suspected cases to the Department of Justice and other relevant authorities, while also emphasizing victim rights and collaboration with advocacy groups and government agencies. The Secretary of Labor will also be required to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the training provided, its effectiveness, the number of employees trained, and the number of human trafficking cases referred to law enforcement by the Department of Labor, along with information on how the department tracks the response to these referrals.
