The bill would require the Attorney General to create a national working group on identifying and protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. The group would estimate the number of suspects and possible victims, study why investigations do not proceed, and recommend strategies, resources, and guidance for law enforcement. It would report its findings and recommendations to the Attorney General and congressional committees within 365 days of enactment.
The bill does not create new duties for the public. It would bring law enforcement agencies and other experts together to study how child victims can be identified and protected. The group's recommendations could inform future decisions about investigations and resources.
The bill does not state a total cost. It allows the group to hire additional staff and temporary experts, and requires it to pay reasonable costs to state and local agencies for requested records.
