Summary
H.R. 443 would require the Department of Labor (DOL) to train its employees on how to identify human trafficking and refer potential cases to law enforcement. The bill would allow the department to determine which employees should receive the training. Additionally, DOL would need to report to the Congress on training and referral activities.
Because DOL currently provides this type of training to many employees, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 443 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2024-2028 period. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
