Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes a section of federal criminal law (18 U.S.C. 3014) that requires an extra $5,000 charge on certain people convicted of federal crimes. Under existing law, these crimes include human trafficking and related sexual abuse and exploitation offenses. The bill removes the opening language of that section, which tied the charge to a set time period. In its place, it states that courts shall charge $5,000 to any non-indigent person or entity convicted of a covered offense. This charge is in addition to the standard federal special assessment.
