What this amendment would do

SA 3242, also known as the Enduring Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, aims to change how special assessments are handled for certain convictions.

  • The amendment modifies Section 3014(a) of title 18, United States Code.
  • It removes the language that limited the $5,000 assessment on non-indigent persons or entities to a specific timeframe ending on September 30, 2025.
  • The purpose is to ensure that, in addition to the assessment under section 3013, the court shall assess an amount of $5,000 on any non-indigent person or entity convicted of an offense under that section.
