Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2024

HR 7824, the Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2024, requires the Justice Department’s Office for Victims of Crime and the Administration for Children and Families to implement specific anti-trafficking recommendations from a December 2023 GAO report within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. The law mandates that these agencies coordinate to address gaps in public awareness and survivor support for child trafficking victims. It also requires the Office for Victims of Crime to submit a detailed implementation report to Congress 60 days after completing the program changes. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for child trafficking prevention and survivor services, without creating new funding or altering existing legal standards.
