Bill > HR6475

This bill directs the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) within the Department of Justice to continue implementing recommendations from a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on child trafficking, published in December 2023. Specifically, the OVC, in coordination with the Office on Trafficking in Persons, must develop and implement strategies to prevent child trafficking and support survivors by working collaboratively using leading practices outlined in the GAO report. The bill requires the OVC to establish clear, objective, and measurable performance goals and targets for anti-trafficking programs, using baseline data from program grantees. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Director of the OVC must submit a detailed report to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees explaining the specific steps taken to implement these anti-trafficking recommendations. The bill aims to improve efforts to combat child trafficking by ensuring systematic and measurable approaches to prevention and survivor support.
