Law

This bill requires the Department of Labor to create a new training program for its employees. The goal is to teach staff how to recognize signs of human trafficking while they are performing their regular duties, such as inspecting workplaces or checking on pay records.
The training will focus on workers who are most likely to see illegal activity, like those who inspect job sites. It specifically asks the government to prioritize training for employees working in states where there has been a big increase in illegal child labor.
Staff will learn how to identify potential victims and the people who might be trafficking them. They will also be given a clear plan for how to report these cases to the Department of Justice and local police so that victims can get help quickly.
To make sure the program is working, the Department of Labor must send a report to Congress every year. This report will show how many employees were trained and how many trafficking cases were successfully reported to law enforcement.
