H.R. 4323, the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act of 2025, creates a legal process for victims of human trafficking to vacate certain criminal convictions and expunge arrest records tied to their exploitation. The bill defines which offenses qualify and outlines how survivors can file motions for this relief. It allows survivors to show that crimes were committed under duress by proving they were trafficking victims at the time. The legislation also permits grant funding to be used for legal representation in seeking post-conviction relief. Additionally, it requires the Government Accountability Office to study how often survivors use this process and its overall impact.
