The bill outlines the FY26 Human Trafficking Enforcement and Training Grant Program administered by the Office of Grants and Research (OGR) under the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) in Massachusetts. The program aims to combat human trafficking by providing funding to district attorneys' offices to enhance their capacity to identify and assist victims. The legislation mandates that a report detailing expenditures and grant recipients be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means by March 2, 2026. The program has a competitive application process, with eligibility limited to Massachusetts District Attorneys Offices, and preference given to those with prior funding success.

Funding for the program has been significantly reduced by approximately 75% in the FY26 budget, leading to a total of $205,240 in grants awarded to various district attorneys' offices. The awarded funds include specific amounts for Berkshire County, Cape & Islands, Hampden County, Worcester County, Plymouth County, and Suffolk County District Attorneys Offices. The bill also includes provisions for allowable funding purposes, such as staffing, enforcement efforts, and training, while outlining the application and review process for grant recipients.
