This bill creates a national human trafficking database at the FBI and provides federal funding to encourage state law enforcement agencies to report trafficking data to it. The Office for Victims of Crime would award grants to state law enforcement agencies to collect information on human trafficking cases, anti-trafficking organizations, and risk factors in their counties. States receiving grants must submit their data within one year, and the FBI would establish and maintain a publicly accessible database on its website showing trafficking risk scores by county, prosecution numbers, and available anti-trafficking services for each state. The legislation authorizes $50 million annually for state grants and $1 million annually for FBI database operations from fiscal years 2025 through 2028, with a requirement that the FBI report database contents to Congress each year. The bill includes protections to keep trafficking survivor information confidential and private.
