“We need to prevent traffickers from filing motions to drain victims’ resources,” said Bella, who gave only her first name.
Bella spoke Thursday morning in favor of Assembly Bill 1375, introduced by Assemblymember Josh Hoover, a Folsom Republican. The legislation would require a judge, before ruling on a child custody issue, to determine whether a parent or the child is a human trafficking victim. A judge would also have to determine whether a parent was convicted or caused a child or other parent to be trafficked.
