Expands crime of human trafficking to include individuals who benefit financially.

Summary

The bill makes it a first‑degree crime for any person who receives financial benefit from a human‑trafficking operation, even if they are not the organizer, supervisor, financier or manager. It adds mandatory penalties of at least 20 years in prison, a $25,000 fine that goes to a survivor assistance fund, and restitution to victims. The change is intended to close loopholes that let peripheral participants avoid liability.
