The U.S. Senate passed two bills, co-sponsored by Senator Dean Heller designed to help stop human trafficking. The No Human Trafficking on Our Roads Act prevents individuals who have been convicted of human trafficking from obtaining a commercial driver’s license. The Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to designate an individual tasked with coordinating human trafficking prevention efforts within the federal agency, and increases support to educate commercial drivers on how to recognize and prevent human trafficking. Heller says it’s another step toward putting an end to this modern day slavery by strengthening prevention efforts at the federal level.
