FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) Findings.—Congress finds the following: (1) Trafficking in persons is a major transnational crime, as recognized by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.; division A of Public Law 106-386). (2) Trafficking in persons is increasingly perpetrated by organized, sophisticated criminal enterprises. (3) Combating trafficking in persons requires a global approach to identifying and apprehending the world’s worst human trafficking rings. (b) Sense of Congress.—It is the sense of Congress that the Department of State’s rewards program is a powerful tool in combating sophisticated international crime and that the Department of State and Federal law enforcement should work in concert to offer rewards that target human traffickers who prey on the most vulnerable people around the world.
