S 2584 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 would make permanent a $5,000 special assessment imposed on non-indigent persons convicted of trafficking-related offenses. Currently, this assessment authority is set to expire on September 30, 2025, but the bill would remove that sunset date, allowing courts to impose the assessment indefinitely. The assessment is imposed in addition to other court-ordered assessments. Revenue from these assessments supports services for victims of trafficking.
