What’s in it

This bill establishes a human trafficking court in the most populous judicial district and requires the court to serve offenders that are human trafficking victims and integrate court sanctions and incentives with appropriate treatment and rehabilitation. The bill identifies a series of essential characteristics that the court must incorporate into its operations and proceedings, and requires the chief judge to designate one or more district judges or district associate judges to act as a judge for and exercise the jurisdiction of the human trafficking court.
