Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act

This bill keeps a $5,000 court fee in place for certain convictions, with no end date. The fee is added on top of the regular court assessment and applies to people or companies that are not indigent (not unable to pay). The change removes the previous cutoff date of September 30, 2025, so courts must continue charging this fee going forward. The bill’s short title signals a focus on justice for victims of trafficking.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Non-indigent people or entities convicted of certain offenses.
• What changes: The $5,000 additional assessment no longer expires; it continues without an end date and is still added on top of the regular assessment.
• When: The previous end date (September 30, 2025) is removed, extending the fee indefinitely after enactment.
