Iowa HF908 addresses human trafficking by enhancing screening for exploited children, extending civil statutes of limitations, and improving.

Iowa HF908 strengthens measures against human trafficking by requiring the juvenile court to screen children for exploitation using a standardized, evidence-based tool when allegations arise. It extends civil statutes of limitations for minors to five years post-majority. The bill mandates an annual stakeholder meeting to develop legislative proposals and submit reports to the governor and general assembly. It also increases funding for a joint unit within the attorney general’s office and the Iowa office to combat human trafficking.
