Bill > S2584

This bill amends 18 U.S. Code Section 3014(a) to require an additional mandatory $5,000 special assessment for non-indigent individuals or entities convicted of certain unspecified offenses. The assessment is supplemental to existing court assessments and appears designed to generate additional financial penalties for convicted offenders, potentially as a means of providing additional funding for victim support or justice system resources. The bill, titled the "Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act," suggests a focus on addressing human trafficking crimes, though the specific offenses subject to the $5,000 assessment are not detailed in the provided text. The assessment would only apply to defendants who are not considered financially indigent, meaning those with sufficient economic means to pay the additional penalty.
