Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen the fight against sex trafficking by allowing law enforcement agencies to use funds from the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program for programs designed to combat human trafficking and reduce the demand for trafficked individuals. It specifically expands the permissible uses of these grant funds under existing federal law. The bill seeks to provide resources for initiatives that address both the supply and demand sides of this serious crime. This legislation builds upon existing grant programs to bolster law enforcement efforts.
