What is the purpose of SB 11?

The purpose of SB 11 is to protect trafficking victims from certain crimes. This legislation was designed to address the serious issue of human trafficking by establishing protections for victims, ensuring they are treated with dignity and receive necessary support. It aims to remove legal barriers that may unjustly penalize victims for crimes they were forced to commit while being trafficked. By focusing on victim protection, the bill seeks to encourage survivors to come forward, access services, and aid law enforcement in combating human trafficking.

Other options relate to different areas of public policy but do not align with the primary focus of SB 11, which specifically addresses the needs and legal protections for victims of trafficking.
