Bill > S2647

This bill, the International Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025, aims to strengthen and extend the United States' efforts to combat human trafficking globally. The bill includes several key provisions that modify existing laws and expand protections for trafficking victims. Specifically, it instructs the U.S. Treasury to encourage multilateral development banks to include anti-trafficking strategies in projects in countries with significant trafficking problems, requires foreign assistance programs to consider potential trafficking risks, and modifies the tier ranking system for countries based on their anti-trafficking efforts. The bill extends funding for various anti-trafficking programs through 2030, with up to $37.5 million allocated to programs aimed at ending modern slavery. It also expands protections for domestic workers on diplomatic visas by establishing a national registration program and implementing monitoring and training requirements for their employers. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of State provide congressional briefings on the annual Trafficking in Persons Report and any waivers issued related to trafficking-related sanctions. The legislation builds upon the original Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, demonstrating the United States' ongoing commitment to addressing human trafficking on a global scale.
