Proposition 35 would expand the definition of human trafficking to include, among other things, distribution of obscene materials that depict minors, whether or not the distributor knew or had any contact with the minor depicted.
It would impose new obligations on law enforcement to identify victims of human trafficking and new training requirements on law enforcement agencies. It would increase penalties for some trafficking offenses to life in prison and would raise criminal fines, which would fund law enforcement and victim services. It would require people convicted of trafficking to register as sex offenders and to provide information about their online activity.
