Summary

Enforcing Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2017 This bill requires the Department of Justice (DOJ), in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services, to provide training and technical assistance to help federal, state, local, and tribal governments combat, and assist victims of, human trafficking. The National Institute of Justice must: establish a working group to identify best practices for collecting data on human trafficking; report on efforts to develop a national methodology to determine the prevalence of human trafficking in the United States, best practices to determine the prevalence of human trafficking, and the effectiveness of current policies and procedures to address victims' needs; and coordinate with federal, state, local, and tribal governments, and private organizations, to conduct a census of human trafficking survivors to estimate the prevalence of human trafficking in the United States. DOJ must report on efforts to increase mandatory restitution orders and asset forfeiture to provide restitution to victims of trafficking. Finally, the bill encourages states to implement certain protections for victims of trafficking.
