Human Trafficking Survivor Tax Relief Act

This bill would change the federal tax code so that money awarded to human trafficking victims through certain court actions is not counted as taxable income. It covers restitution ordered by a criminal court under the federal trafficking restitution law (18 U.S.C. 1593). It also covers civil damages and other money awards won in lawsuits brought under the federal trafficking civil remedy law (18 U.S.C. 1595). The change would apply to tax years beginning after the bill becomes law.
