Child trafficking tackled

Posted

A bill that creates a felony for child trafficking cases received unanimous support in the House on April 24.

House Bill 1372 takes on the practice of “rehoming,” where parents use the Internet to advertise the sale of their children. The bill makes soliciting children for adoption purposes a class 6 felony.

The bill is an add-on to a separate bill that was passed this year, which updated the child trafficking statute.

The bill now heads to the Senate.
