CHARLESTON -
West Virginia would join 48 other states in the fight against human trafficking, through a measure unanimously passed by the House of Delegates.
The vote on Tuesday, Feb. 21 sends the state Senate a bill targeting forced labor or sex as well as child prostitution.
People who coerce, compel or lure others into such conduct would be guilty of felonies. They would face thousands of dollars in fines and prison terms of at least 10 years.
Trafficking itself would also be a felony.
So would taking someone's passport or other identification materials for the purposes of human trafficking.
The bill revises and clarifies the state's law against kidnapping.
It also calls on the governor's crime committee to develop training standards for law enforcement so they can investigate human trafficking.
