AUSTIN – In recent sessions, the Texas Legislature has passed laws aimed at making it tough for human traffickers and pimps, as well as helping the victims of those criminals.
It looks like the upcoming session will be no different.
As in the case of legislation aimed at reducing the number of child deaths due to abuse or neglect, anti-human trafficking proposals are also expected to get the lawmakers’ attention when the Legislature is back in session on Jan. 13.
“This is a fight that we must continue,” said Rep. John Frullo who, in his four years as a legislator, has successfully authored legislation aimed at giving law enforcement the resources they need to combat this problem.
