Pennsylvania HB2257 amends the Human Services Code to require the development of a trauma-informed screening for children identified as victims or at risk of human trafficking involving sexual servitude.

If a child is identified as at risk, the county agency must connect them with specialized services for sexually exploited children. This act aims to ensure timely intervention and support for vulnerable children.
