Iowa HF452 addresses human trafficking by extending civil statutes of limitations, allowing video depositions for victims, and creating a stakeholder.

Iowa HF452 amends laws related to human trafficking. It extends the statute of limitations for minors to file claims for sexual abuse or trafficking to five years after they turn 18. The bill allows courts to order video depositions for victims of human trafficking, which can be used in place of live testimony. It also mandates an annual stakeholder meeting to develop legislative proposals to combat human trafficking, with a report to the governor and general assembly by December 15, 2025, and annually thereafter for five years.
