What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, no one may engage in human trafficking. Trafficking is defined in current law as recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining an individual without the individual's consent. A person commits an illegal act of human trafficking if he or she traffics an individual under circumstances involving physical or financial harm, threats, or other types of coercion against the individual so that the individual will provide services, labor, or commercial sexual acts.
This bill removes from the definition of "trafficking" the requirement that the individual be recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, or obtained without his or her consent.
