Preventing Child Trafficking Act of 2025

This bill directs the Office for Victims of Crime at the Department of Justice to keep carrying out recommendations from a December 2023 Government Accountability Office report on child trafficking. The office must work with the Office on Trafficking in Persons at the Administration for Children and Families to develop and carry out strategies to prevent child trafficking and support survivors. The two offices must also set performance goals and targets for child anti-trafficking programs that are objective, measurable, and based on data from grant recipients. Within 180 days of the law taking effect, the Director of the Office for Victims of Crime must report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on the steps taken.
