HB 200 makes three changes to Utah law related to human trafficking and the smuggling of undocumented immigrants. It increases criminal penalties when a victim of transporting or harboring an undocumented immigrant is younger than 13 — elevating those offenses from a third-degree felony to a second-degree felony, or from a misdemeanor to a felony. It also adds aggravated exploitation of prostitution involving a child to the list of offenses for which a victim can sue their trafficker in civil court for damages. Finally, it authorizes the Utah attorney general to proactively file lawsuits — including seeking court orders, receiverships, or business dissolution — against anyone the attorney general has reason to believe is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a human trafficking offense.
