HUMAN TRAFFICKING -- Amends existing law to provide that the Attorney General shall have certain authority.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation allows law enforcement to submit their investigative findings of human trafficking to the office of the attorney general, who may, in his sole discretion, prosecute any crimes identified in the investigation. As human trafficking crimes are often highly complex and intercounty and interstate in activity, the attorney general’s office may be best able to investigate and prosecute said cases, in certain situations.
