The bill would amend the Penal Code by creating the offense of trafficking of persons.  The offense would be punishable as a felony of the second degree unless the offense results in the trafficking of persons younger than 14 years of age, or the offense results in the death of a person who is trafficked, in which case the offense would be punishable as a felony of the first degree.  The bill would also include the offense of trafficking of persons under the engaging in organized criminal activity provision of the Penal Code. 

A second degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 20 years or less than 2 years, or, in addition to confinement, a fine not to exceed $10,000.

For this analysis it is assumed that the number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.
