The proposed bill aims to establish mandatory minimum sentences for individuals convicted of human trafficking offenses in North Dakota. It introduces a new section to chapter 12.1-41 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines specific minimum terms of imprisonment that must be served without the possibility of parole.

Under the new provisions, individuals convicted of a class AA felony related to human trafficking will face a minimum sentence of twenty years, while those convicted of a class A felony will receive a minimum of ten years. For class B felonies, the minimum sentence is set at five years. This legislation seeks to enhance penalties for human trafficking offenders and ensure that they serve significant time in prison for their crimes.
