S. 2584 – Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated December 11, 2025 at 7:31 AM UTC

The Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act changes federal sentencing rules by adding a mandatory $5,000 special assessment for any non‑indigent person or entity convicted of a trafficking‑related offense. This assessment is added on top of the existing assessment already required under the law. The change applies to anyone convicted of such offenses who is not considered indigent, meaning they must pay the extra fee as part of their sentence.

Key Provisions

Amends 18 U.S.C. § 3014(a) to remove the phrase “Beginning on the date…” and replace it with language that requires courts to impose an additional $5,000 assessment on non‑indigent convicted persons or entities for trafficking offenses, in addition to the assessment already required under § 3013.
