The bill mandates the forfeiture of property involved in human trafficking violations and prioritizes restitution from forfeited assets.

  • § 3021

    (a.1) Mandatory forfeiture.--In addition to property subject to forfeiture under subsection (a), if a person is convicted of a violation of this chapter, the court, in imposing sentence, shall order the person to forfeit to the Commonwealth the person's interest in any of the following: (1) Real or personal property that was involved in, used or intended to be used to commit or facilitate the commission of the violation and property traceable to the property. (2) Real or personal property that constitutes or is derived from proceeds that the person obtained, directly or indirectly, as a result of the violation and property traceable to the property.

    This addition establishes mandatory forfeiture of property tied to human trafficking offenses upon conviction.

  • § 3021

    [subsection (m)] → subsections (m) and (m.1)

    This change updates the reference to the subsections related to the distribution of forfeiture proceeds.

  • § 3021(m)

    (m.1) Restitution priority.-- (1) The Attorney General or district attorney, where appropriate, shall transfer money, property or proceeds forfeited under this section to satisfy an order of restitution arising from a violation of this chapter. (2) A transfer under paragraph (1) shall have priority over a distribution under subsection (m) to a law enforcement agency, the office of the prosecuting attorney or the commission. (3) A transfer under this subsection shall not reduce or otherwise mitigate the obligation of a person convicted of a violation of this chapter to satisfy the full amount of an order of restitution through nonforfeited assets.

    This new subsection prioritizes restitution payments from forfeited assets over distributions to law enforcement agencies.
