HB 244 addresses concerns regarding the sex trafficking of minors and is brought in conjunction with HR 223, which creates a set-aside fund for trafficking victims. The bill sets forth a short title, legislative findings and definitions. It extends the statute of limitations for civil actions seeking damages for childhood sexual abuse until the Plaintiff reaches age 25. It establishes the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund and the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund Commission. The purpose of the Fund is to provide care and rehabilitative services for sexually exploited children. The bill mandates an additional fine of $2,500 for defendants over age 18 convicted of trafficking persons for sexual servitude. Such fine money will be dedicated to the Fund. HB 244 amends existing forfeiture statutes to add sex trafficking crimes to the list of offenses that can trigger civil forfeiture. It also permits the extension of sex offender treatment to trafficking offenders.
