An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in children and youth, providing for screening requirements.

This bill requires Pennsylvania county agencies to implement trauma-informed screening for children in their care to identify those who may be victims or at risk of human trafficking involving sexual exploitation. The screening process must be developed by the state department in consultation with county agencies and applied to all children with whom the agencies have contact. If a child is identified as a victim or at risk, the agency must connect them with specialized services designed for sexually exploited children. The law takes effect 90 days after passage.
