Montana HB104 revises the powers and duties of agents appointed by the attorney general, expanding their jurisdiction to include human trafficking.

Montana HB104 amends the Montana Code Annotated to enhance the investigative authority of agents appointed by the attorney general. These agents now have concurrent jurisdiction with local law enforcement to investigate offenses involving dangerous drugs, human trafficking, prostitution, and internet crimes against children. The bill also defines "internet crimes against children" as the use of electronic devices or communications to commit crimes against minors, including sexual assault and child sex trafficking.
