Explanation
(This amendment provides funding to initiate pilot projects related to human trafficking prevention and victim support. The funding will be administered by the existing human trafficking workgroup in the Department of Social Services (created by House Bill 2190, 2011 General Assembly) and used to foster projects that serve to weaken the demand for human trafficking and provide assistance to its victims.)
