What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill creates a way for people who were victims of human trafficking to clear their criminal records if the crimes they were convicted of were directly connected to being a trafficking victim. It sets up rules for how victims can ask a court to remove these convictions and arrest records, and it says that if a person can strongly prove they were a trafficking victim when the crime happened, the court should generally assume they were forced into it. The bill also requires a government office to study how many trafficking survivors use this process, and it allows certain grants to help pay for lawyers to assist victims in clearing their records.
