H.R. 4929 – Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 23, 2025 at 10:53 PM UTC

The Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act changes the law so that courts must always impose a $5,000 special assessment on non‑indigent individuals or entities convicted of trafficking crimes. By eliminating the previous time limit, the assessment will continue to fund programs that assist trafficking victims. The bill affects convicted traffickers and the victims who benefit from the funded services.

Key Provisions

Removes the September 30, 2025 deadline, so the $5,000 special assessment on non‑indigent persons or entities convicted of trafficking offenses applies indefinitely.
Keeps the $5,000 amount and the requirement that the assessment be added to the existing assessment under section 3013.
