This bill mandates the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) within the Department of Justice to continue implementing specific anti-trafficking recommendations. These recommendations stem from a December 2023 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report titled "Child Trafficking: Addressing Challenges to Public Awareness and Survivor Support." OVC is directed to coordinate with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTP) to develop and implement strategies for preventing child trafficking and supporting survivors. Furthermore, the bill requires OVC to establish objective, measurable, and quantifiable performance goals and targets for child anti-trafficking programs, utilizing baseline data from program grantees. Within 180 days of enactment, the Director of OVC must submit a detailed report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, outlining the steps taken to fulfill these requirements.
