To direct the Office for Victims of Crime of the Department of Justice to implement anti-trafficking recommendations of the Government Accountability Office.
The Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2024 directs the Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime to put into action recommendations from a December 2023 Government Accountability Office report on child trafficking, specifically addressing challenges in public awareness and survivor support services. The office has 180 days from the bill's enactment to implement these anti-trafficking recommendations and must coordinate with the Administration for Children and Families' Office on Trafficking in Persons. Within 60 days of completing the implementation, the Office for Victims of Crime must submit a detailed report to both the Senate and House Judiciary Committees describing the specific steps taken to address the GAO's recommendations. The bill essentially converts an existing government audit's findings into a formal requirement for federal action, with clear deadlines and accountability measures through congressional reporting.
