This bill establishes two human trafficking prosecution units within the Iowa Department of Justice, aimed at identifying, investigating, and prosecuting human trafficking cases while providing support for victims. The attorney general, in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, the Office to Combat Human Trafficking, and the Department of Health and Human Services, will develop and staff these units, which will be divided to serve the western and eastern halves of the state, respectively. Each unit will consist of various representatives, including law enforcement, victim services, healthcare, community organizations, and survivor advocacy groups, and will also have the capacity to conduct training and raise community awareness about human trafficking.

Additionally, the bill introduces a fee structure for wire transmissions, mandating that licensees collect a fee of $5 for transactions of $500 or less, and an additional 2% for amounts exceeding $500. These fees will be remitted quarterly to the Department of Revenue, which will then transfer the funds to the Office to Combat Human Trafficking. The bill also stipulates that customers who file an individual income tax return with a valid identification number can claim a tax credit equivalent to the wire transmission fees paid during the tax year. The Department of Revenue, in consultation with the Department of Public Safety, will enforce compliance, with provisions for suspending or revoking licenses for non-compliance.
