Bill overview
The Trafficking Survivors Relief Act of 2024 aims to help victims of human trafficking by allowing them to have certain criminal convictions vacated and arrest records expunged. It establishes a process for filing motions to achieve this relief, defines eligible offenses, and creates a legal presumption that a victim committed a crime due to duress. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to assess the impact of this process and provides for grants to support legal representation for survivors seeking post-conviction relief. Finally, it introduces a defense related to human trafficking as a factor in a federal crime.
