What’s in it

This bill provides that a person is disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for life if the person is convicted of a felony involving the use of a commercial vehicle in the commission of an act or practice of human trafficking. Human trafficking means participating in a venture to recruit, harbor, transport, supply provisions, or obtain a person for the purpose of forced labor or service that results in involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery; or for the purpose of commercial sexual activity through the use of force, fraud, or coercion, except that if the trafficked person is under the age of 18, the commercial sexual activity need not involve force, fraud, or coercion.
