This bill requires the Secretary of Labor to create a training program, within 180 days of enactment, to help certain employees recognize signs of human trafficking. The training covers current trafficking trends, identifying victims and suspects, and reporting procedures involving the Department of Justice, victim advocacy groups, and local officials.
Department of Labor employees, especially those in the Wage and Hour Division in states with rising illegal child labor, would receive the training. The general public is indirectly affected through potential improvements in trafficking detection.
Better-trained employees could improve early identification and reporting of trafficking and child labor exploitation cases. The bill also creates new reporting requirements for the Department to Congress on training progress and referrals.
