HR 4929 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act
To amend title 18, United States Code, regarding additional assessments on convicted persons, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill makes permanent a $5,000 special assessment imposed on non-indigent persons convicted of human trafficking offenses. Previously, this assessment was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025. The bill removes that expiration date so the assessment will continue indefinitely, with the funds supporting victims of human trafficking.
