CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS -- Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding the crimes of trafficking and commercial sexual activity.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation rewrites Idaho’s human trafficking laws and related statutes regarding commercial sexual activity and imposes upon the Attorney General the duty to write a report on human trafficking every other year; maintain curriculum for educating prosecutors, law enforcement, victim advocates, and the public on human trafficking in Idaho; and assist county prosecuting attorneys in the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking. This legislation has three primary goals: (1) make Idaho’s human trafficking laws more victim-centered, (2) provide law enforcement with clearer and more effective laws for investigating and prosecuting human trafficking, and (3) provide state-level resources for combatting human trafficking.
