To provide for the vacating of certain convictions and expungement of certain arrests of victims of human trafficking, Sec. 2

In deciding whether the movant is a victim of trafficking, the court is required to consider an affidavit or sworn testimony from an anti-human trafficking service provider or a clinician. It may also consider any other supporting evidence it determines is of sufficient credibility and probative value, and the section names one example: sworn testimony from a law enforcement officer detailing the role of the movant in coercing other victims of trafficking into committing criminal offenses.

That sentence, in plain words

The judge must look at a sworn paper from a helper who works with people who were forced. A doctor or nurse counts too.

What this is about

The judge can also look at other proof. That includes sworn words from a police officer. The judge decides which proof is worth trusting.

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.
