This bill reauthorizes certain programs and activities that promote awareness of human trafficking and support victims. The bill also establishes a new program to support victims of trafficking.

Specifically, this bill reauthorizes through FY2029

  • programs and activities at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to promote awareness of trafficking and strengthen services for victims, including the National Human Trafficking Hotline and cybersecurity and public education campaigns;
  • Department of Justice grants to support trafficking victims inside the United States, including amounts for housing assistance grants; and
  • International Megan’s Law, which requires sex offenders to provide certain information about their intended travel outside of the United States, among other provisions.

The bill also authorizes HHS to carry out a new program—the Human Trafficking Survivors Employment and Education Program—to help victims of trafficking integrate or reintegrate into society.
