HR 4929 United States House · 119th Congress

Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act

This bill amends a provision in U.S. law to make a $5,000 special assessment permanent for non-indigent individuals or entities convicted of trafficking offenses. It removes the previous expiration date (September 30, 2025) from the assessment, which was added under the 2015 Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. The key change requires courts to impose this $5,000 fee on all qualifying convicted traffickers going forward, without a set end date. This directly affects convicted traffickers (not victims) by adding a permanent financial penalty to their sentencing.
