Plain-English Summary

The bill makes technical corrections to existing laws that help protect victims of human trafficking and support anti-trafficking efforts internationally. These changes clarify language and fix procedural issues in the law without fundamentally changing how the government combats trafficking or assists survivors. The bill affects government agencies, international organizations, and nonprofits working to prevent trafficking and help victims rebuild their lives.
