Human trafficking: vacatur relief for victims.

Summary

The bill lets people who were arrested or convicted of nonviolent crimes while being trafficked—especially those under 18—ask a court to vacate those convictions. Petitioners must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the crime was a direct result of their trafficking victimization. If granted, the court erases the conviction, orders records sealed or destroyed, and notifies the Department of Justice.
