Digest
HB 2052 increases the minimum term of imprisonment for the offense of trafficking of persons. The bill raises the baseline sentence to 15 years for second-degree felony offenses and includes provisions that escalate the punishment to a first-degree felony with a minimum 15-year term if certain aggravating factors are met, such as the use of a deadly weapon or serious bodily injury to the victim. It also imposes enhanced penalties for offenses committed near schools, shelters, and other protected locations.
