Trafficking Survivors Relief Act

This bill creates a way for human trafficking victims to clear their criminal records for certain crimes they committed because they were being trafficked. It explains which crimes can be cleared and how victims can ask a court to remove these convictions or arrest records. The bill also lets some grants for legal help be used for this purpose and allows defendants to show they committed crimes because they were forced to as trafficking victims. The Government Accountability Office will study how many trafficking survivors use this new process.
