Congress states that the Act is a first step to address forced criminality
What the document says“this Act is a first step to address the changing tactics of human traffickers, who are using forced criminality as a form of force, fraud, and coercion in their human trafficking enterprises; and”
The first of two statements of the sense of Congress. It describes the Act as a first step addressing the changing tactics of human traffickers, and characterizes forced criminality as a form of force, fraud and coercion used in trafficking enterprises. It is a statement of view rather than a directive, and it binds nobody.
What the document actually says“this Act is a first step to address the changing tactics of human traffickers, who are using forced criminality as a form of force, fraud, and coercion in their human trafficking enterprises; and”
This law is a first step. People who force others into crime are changing how they work. They now use crime itself as a way to hold on to a victim.
A sense of Congress sets no rule. It gives nobody a new job. It puts a view on the record.
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.
