AB 2216 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Human trafficking victims assistance: grants.

Summary

Existing law creates the Human Trafficking Victims Assistance Fund in the State Treasury. Existing law makes the Office of Emergency Services responsible for awarding grants, based on specified criteria, to qualified nonprofit organizations that provide services to victims of human trafficking. This bill would also require the office to conduct a prevalence study to better understand human trafficking in California and a comprehensive audit and evaluative study of qualified nonprofit organizations that are awarded grants pursuant to these provisions. The bill would also state the intent of the Legislature to annually enact legislation in the Budget Act that would appropriate $15,000,000 from the General Fund to the Office of Emergency Services for the purpose of awarding grants to support programs for victims of human trafficking, increasing technical assistance provided to, and training of, qualified nonprofit organizations, and conducting the studies described above.
