What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill creates a way for people who were victims of human trafficking to clear certain criminal records if the crimes they were charged with were directly connected to being a trafficking victim. It sets up rules for how victims can ask a court to remove their convictions or arrest records, and it allows certain government grants to be used to help pay for lawyers to assist with this process. The bill also lets a defendant show in court that they committed an offense because they were being trafficked at the time. A government agency would be required to study how many trafficking survivors use this new process.
