What is H.R. 2283?
(Updated November 14, 2014)
This bill would elevate the State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons to a Bureau.

Argument in favor
Would make human trafficking a higher priority in the federal government.
Argument opposed
While this bill elevates awareness, a more proactive component would make it better.
Impact
The bill impacts an office of the State Department.
Cost of H.R. 2283
A CBO cost is unavailable; the bill promises that the change is budget-neutral.
