MS HB673

Revises Mississippi's Human Trafficking Act to expand definitions of trafficking offenses, including adding penalties for those who benefit financially from trafficking enterprises and establishing minimum sentences of 2-20 years for adult victims and 5-30 years for minor victims.

Creates new offenses and penalties for prostitution and soliciting prostitution, with enhanced penalties when minors are involved (minimum 5-30 years imprisonment and $50,000-$500,000 fines), while providing immunity from prosecution for trafficking victims.

Establishes the position of Statewide Human Trafficking Coordinator within the Attorney General's office and creates the "Relief for Victims of Human Trafficking Fund" to support victim assistance programs and law enforcement training.

Authorizes asset forfeiture for property used in trafficking offenses, with proceeds split 50% to the victim relief fund and 50% to law enforcement agencies involved in the case.

Expands statute of limitations for human trafficking prosecutions to eliminate time restrictions and allows courts to vacate convictions of defendants whose participation resulted from being trafficking victims.
