National Human Trafficking Database Act
S 61 establishes a national database to standardize human trafficking data collection across states. Covered state agencies (like law enforcement or public health departments) must collect anonymized data on prosecutions, hotline reports, survivor services, and anti-trafficking organizations, then report it annually to the Office for Victims of Crime. The database, published online by the Justice Department, will display county-level trafficking rates, organization details, and prosecution statistics while strictly protecting survivor confidentiality. The bill authorizes $50 million annually (2025-2028) for state grants and data management, requiring states to submit initial reports within one year of enactment.
