Creates a "noncaregiver sex trafficking assessment" as a distinct response type when reports allege sex trafficking by someone who is not a person responsible for the child's care, a person with a significant relationship to the child, or a person in a position of authority over the child.

Exempts noncaregiver sex trafficking assessments from the requirement to conduct a full investigation, allowing agencies to use a comprehensive assessment of child safety and family needs without determining whether maltreatment occurred.

Requires local welfare agencies to notify Indian child's tribes of family assessments, investigations, and noncaregiver sex trafficking assessments within 24 hours when an Indian child may be involved.

Mandates that all child protection workers and social services staff with child protective duties complete training on sex trafficking and sexual exploitation as required by federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act amendments.

Expands the definition of "egregious harm" and "sexually exploited youth" to specifically include sex trafficking conduct, and requires multidisciplinary child protection teams to include representatives from agencies providing specialized services for youth experiencing sex trafficking or sexual exploitation.
