S 670 United States Senate · 118th Congress

IMPACTT Human Trafficking Act

This bill establishes two key programs within Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to better support human trafficking victims and the agents working with them. The IMPACTT Program provides trauma-informed training and self-care resources to HSI employees who encounter trauma while working with victims, including burnout prevention and access to counseling services. The Victim Assistance Program creates specialized roles (forensic interview specialists and victim assistance specialists) to deliver emergency aid like food, shelter, and transportation to victims, while ensuring all services are trauma-informed, victim-centered, and linguistically appropriate. Both programs require annual reporting to Congress on their implementation and impact.
