Became Public Law No: 119-73.

Presented to President.

Message on Senate action sent to the House.

Passed Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S8894)

U.S. Attorneys must report to the Attorney General on how the new expungement process is being used, and the Attorney General must report to Congress on trafficking training for prosecutors

Within the first year, the government will track how many survivors are using this new process, what crimes are involved, and whether prosecutors are properly trained to recognize trafficking victims — giving Congress data on whether the law is working.

Government Accountability Office delivers a comprehensive report to Congress evaluating the law's impact

Three years in, an independent review will assess whether the law is actually helping trafficking survivors, how many have used it, and what changes might be needed to improve access to relief.
