AI Summary
This bill amends a Kentucky law (KRS 529.110) to increase the penalties for promoting human trafficking, which involves intentionally benefiting financially from or participating in the recruitment, harboring, transportation, or solicitation of another person for the purpose of human trafficking. Specifically, promoting human trafficking will now be a Class B felony, a more serious offense than the previous Class C felony. However, if the victim of the human trafficking is under eighteen years old, the offense will be elevated to a Class A felony, the most severe felony classification.
