Bill overview
This bill amends California’s asset forfeiture law to specifically address human trafficking, particularly when it involves victims under 18 and commercial sex acts. It renames the existing law to the ‘California Control of Profits of Organized Crime and Human Trafficking Act’ and removes the requirement to demonstrate a ‘pattern of criminal profiteering’ for property to be seized. Proceeds from forfeitures related to human trafficking will be directed to the Victim-Witness Assistance Fund and the Board of State and Community Corrections, with a focus on supporting victims and training law enforcement.
