Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Courts would have more choice in deciding whether to order a convicted felon to pay money to a victim's family or estate if the victim died without a will. Human trafficking victims would also gain new rights to receive medical care, food, shelter, and legal help regardless of their immigration status. These victims and their families would also be protected from having their private information shared with the public. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
