This bill reauthorizes and updates the federal anti-human trafficking law through 2029, extending programs that combat modern slavery and human trafficking. It increases funding for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking from $13.8 million to $23.1 million annually, and raises funding for related international programs to $111 million per year for fiscal years 2025-2029. The legislation makes several technical changes to how countries are evaluated for compliance with anti-trafficking standards, requires the State Department to include information about organ harvesting trafficking in its annual trafficking report, and clarifies which types of foreign aid can be withheld from countries that fail to meet anti-trafficking requirements. It also adds protections to ensure U.S. development assistance programs don't inadvertently increase trafficking vulnerabilities during disasters, and requires the State Department to make its annual trafficking report available in printed format to the public.
