2 13 This bill relates to human trafficking.
2 14 The bill provides that a person commits a serious
2 15 misdemeanor if the person operates a motor vehicle when
2 16 another person occupies a trailer or semitrailer being drawn
2 17 by the motor vehicle or motor truck. A person does not commit
2 18 a violation of the bill if the person operating the motor
2 19 vehicle or motor truck is drawing an occupied trailer or
2 20 semitrailer in a parade, or in an emergency situation, or is
2 21 transporting a migrant or other farm worker from one field to
2 22 another. A person also does not commit a violation of the
2 23 bill if the occupied trailer or semitrailer is being used in a
2 24 hayride, the trailer or semitrailer is designed to carry
2 25 persons, or the operator of the motor vehicle or motor truck
2 26 has no knowledge the trailer or semitrailer is occupied.
2 27 The bill also provides that a person shall not knowingly
2 28 traffic another person with the intent the person being
2 29 trafficked is to be used in forced labor or prostitution. The
2 30 bill defines "forced labor" to mean labor obtained from a
2 31 person by threatening to cause bodily injury, by restricting
2 32 movements so as to substantially interfere with a trafficked
2 33 person's liberty, or by withholding government records,
2 34 identifying information, or personal property. The bill
2 35 defines "traffic" to mean transporting a person or to entice,
3 1 recruit, harbor, provide, or otherwise acquire a person for
3 2 transport by deception, coercion, or force. Under the bill,
3 3 if a person being trafficked is 14 years of age or younger or
3 4 a violation results in the death of a person being trafficked,
3 5 a person commits a class "C" felony. A person commits a class
3 6 "D" felony for any other trafficking violation involving
3 7 forced labor or prostitution.
