Bill 119 s 61, also known as the National Human Trafficking Database Act, aims to create a centralized database at the Office for Victims of Crime within the Department of Justice. This database will serve as a comprehensive resource for tracking and combating human trafficking in the United States.
The bill also includes provisions to incentivize state agencies to report data to the database. By providing incentives, such as grants or other forms of assistance, the bill aims to encourage states to actively participate in the collection and sharing of data related to human trafficking.
Overall, the National Human Trafficking Database Act seeks to improve coordination and information sharing among federal and state agencies in the fight against human trafficking. This legislation is an important step towards addressing this serious issue and providing support for victims of trafficking.
