Bill overview
This bill, the Human Trafficking Survivor Tax Relief Act, provides a tax break for survivors of human trafficking. It exempts civil damages, restitution, and other monetary awards – including those received in criminal proceedings – from being considered as income. Specifically, it covers amounts awarded under certain sections of the U.S. Code related to restitution and criminal actions against traffickers. This aims to help survivors rebuild their lives financially after experiencing this trauma.
