What the document says

“That each United States Attorney shall establish or participate in a task force on human trafficking.”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The last proviso under the United States Attorneys heading. It requires every United States Attorney either to set up a human trafficking task force or to take part in one. The proviso sets no deadline, names no partners and describes no reporting.

What the document actually says

“That each United States Attorney shall establish or participate in a task force on human trafficking.”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

Every federal prosecutor must join a group that fights human trafficking. If there is no group, they must start one.

What this is about

Human trafficking means forcing people to work or to sell sex. A task force brings police and lawyers together. This says every district must have one.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
