Summary
This document is a Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis of proposed legislation concerning trafficking victims. The DOJ opposes several provisions, including the creation of a guardian ad litem program and a confidentiality section that could impede law enforcement, and recommends changes to language that would create a legal obligation for government-funded counsel. The DOJ also recommends striking a 2% funding cap for training and ensuring that both the DOJ and DHS are involved with HHS in the development of a $5 million pilot program.
