AB 2545

Bill Subjects

Human Trafficking Penalties

Abstract

Existing law, as amended by the Californians Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) Act, an initiative measure enacted by the approval of Proposition 35 at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, proscribes the crime of human trafficking, a felony. Existing law specifies the penalties to be imposed upon a conviction for human trafficking and authorizes the court, in addition to any other penalty, fine, or restitution imposed, to impose a fine of up to $1,000,000. Existing law authorizes the Legislature to amend the CASE Act by a majority vote if the statute furthers its objectives. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
