Summary
Amends the Predator Accountability Act. Changes the short title of the Act to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.

Provides that a legal guardian, family member, agent of the victim, court appointee, certain type of organization, or government entity responsible for enforcing the laws of this State may bring an action on behalf of a victim. Provides that it is not a defense to an action brought under the Act that a defendant has been acquitted or has not been investigated, arrested, prosecuted, or convicted under the Criminal Code of 2012 or has been convicted of a different offense for the conduct that is alleged to give rise to liability under the Act. Makes other changes, including corresponding changes in the Code of Civil Procedure.
Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
194 added · 218 removedPlain-language change summary
The bill SB 3108 has changed its focus by replacing the term "labor trafficking" with "human trafficking" throughout its language. It now includes definitions of "human trafficking" and "involuntary servitude" specifically referencing violations outlined in the Criminal Code, allowing for a clearer understanding of these issues. These adjustments are important because they broaden the scope of the bill to address both sex-related offenses and human trafficking more comprehensively, which could enhance legal protections for victims.
