199 days after the completion of the investigation, the state
200 attorney shall report the findings to the department and shall
201 include in the report a determination of whether or not
202 prosecution is justified and appropriate in view of the
203 circumstances of the specific case.
204 Section 5. Section 787.05, Florida Statutes, is repealed.
205 Section 6. Section 787.06, Florida Statutes, is amended to
206 read:
207 787.06 Human trafficking.—
208 (1)(a) The Legislature finds that human trafficking is a
209 form of modern-day slavery. Victims of human trafficking are
210 young children, teenagers, and adults. Thousands of victims are
211 trafficked annually across international borders worldwide. Many
212 of these victims are trafficked into this state. Also, many
213 Florida youth are trafficked within the state. The Legislature
214 finds that victims of human trafficking are subjected to force,
215 fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or
216 forced labor.
217 (b) The Legislature finds that while many victims of human
218 trafficking are forced to work in prostitution or the sexual
219 entertainment industry, trafficking also occurs in forms of
220 labor exploitation, such as domestic servitude, restaurant work,
221 janitorial work, sweatshop factory work, and migrant
222 agricultural work.
223 (c) The Legislature finds that traffickers use various
224 techniques to instill fear in victims and to keep them enslaved.
225 Some traffickers keep their victims under lock and key. However,
226 the most frequently used practices are less obvious techniques
227 that include isolating victims from the public and family
228 members; confiscating passports, visas, or other identification
229 documents; using or threatening to use violence toward victims
230 or their families; telling victims that they will be imprisoned
231 or deported for immigration violations if they contact
232 authorities; and controlling the victims’ funds by holding the
233 money ostensibly for safekeeping.
234 (d) It is the intent of the Legislature that the
235 perpetrators of human trafficking be penalized for their illegal
236 conduct and that the victims of trafficking be protected and
237 assisted by this state and its agencies. In furtherance of this
238 policy, it is the intent of the Legislature that the state
239 Supreme Court, The Florida Bar, and relevant state agencies
240 prepare and implement training programs in order that judges,
241 attorneys, law enforcement personnel, investigators, and others
242 are able to identify traffickers and victims of human
243 trafficking and direct victims to appropriate agencies for
244 assistance. It is the intent of the Legislature that the
245 Department of Children and Family Services and other state
246 agencies cooperate with other state, local, and federal agencies
247 to ensure that victims of human trafficking can access social
248 services and benefits, including those made available to victims
249 of sexual and domestic violence, to alleviate their plight.
250 (e) The Legislature finds that sex trafficking is a large
251 part of human trafficking and that children are often the
252 victims of sex trafficking by becoming prostitutes. It is the
253 intent of the Legislature to protect children from sexual
254 exploitation. The Legislature finds that children are at an
255 increased risk of being exploited because they are
256 psychologically less developed than adults. Children may
257 perceive the persons who exploit them for purposes of
258 prostitution as protectors, parental surrogates, boyfriends, or
259 girlfriends and they may be uncooperative with the attempts of
260 law enforcement to prosecute these persons. It is the intent of
261 the Legislature to provide liability for persons who benefit
262 financially or receive anything of value knowing or in reckless
263 disregard of the fact that children will be caused to engage in
264 prostitution. It is the intent of the Legislature to prevent
265 those persons from using more experienced prostitutes to recruit
266 and manage new child prostitutes in order to distance themselves
267 from overt criminal acts.
268 (2) As used in this section, the term:
269 (a) “Commercial sexual activity” means any violation of
270 chapter 796 or any offense that is in violation of a law of any
271 other jurisdiction if the elements of such offense are

274 (b)(a) “Financial harm” includes extortionate extension of
275 credit, loan sharking as defined in s. 687.071, or employment
276 contracts that violate the statute of frauds as provided in s.
277 725.01.
278 (c)(b) “Forced labor or services” means labor or services
279 obtained from a person by:
280 1. Using or threatening to use physical force against that
281 person or another person;

283 restrain, isolate, or confine that person or another person

285 3. Using lending or other credit methods to establish a
286 debt by that person or another person when labor or services are
287 pledged as a security for the debt, if the value of the labor or

289 liquidation of the debt, and the length and nature of the labor
290 or services are not respectively limited and defined;
291 4. Destroying, concealing, removing, confiscating,
292 withholding, or possessing any actual or purported passport,
293 visa, or other immigration document, or any other actual or

295 another person;
296 5. Causing or threatening to cause financial harm to any
297 person; or
298 6. Enticing or luring any person by fraud, deceit, or
299 coercion; or
300 7. Providing a controlled substance as outlined in Schedule
301 I or Schedule II of s. 893.03 to that person for the purpose of

303 against her or his will.
304 (d)(c) “Human trafficking” means transporting, soliciting,
305 recruiting, harboring, providing, enticing, maintaining, or

307 or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse
308 of power or of a position of vulnerability, or the giving or
309 receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a
310 person having control over another person for the purpose of
311 exploitation of that person for transport. Exploitation
312 includes, but is not limited to, the exploitation of commercial
313 sexual activity of others or other forms of sexual exploitation,
314 forced labor or services, slavery, practices similar to slavery,
315 forced marriage, servitude, or the removal of organs.
316 (e) “Labor” means work of economic or financial value.
317 (f)(d) “Maintain,” means, when used in relation to labor
318 services, means to secure or make possible continued performance

322 secure performance thereof.
323 (h) “Services” means an ongoing relationship between a
324 person and an actor in which the person performs activities
325 under the supervision of or for the benefit of the actor.

341 human trafficking forced labor or services;
342
343 commits a felony of the first second degree, punishable as
344 provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. For each
345 instance of human trafficking of any individual, a separate
346 crime is committed and a separate punishment is authorized.
347 (4) Any person who knowingly or in reckless disregard of

369 years.
370 (6) Any person who knowingly or in reckless disregard of
371 the facts engages in human trafficking in which any child under
