such spending during the 2016-2021 period and increase it over the subsequent years. We also estimate that bill would have an insignificant effect on revenues. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues. H.R. 3530 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Procedural history The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2013 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on November 19, 2013 by Rep. Ted Poe (R, TX-2). The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary and the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations. On May 15, 2014, it was reported (amended) by the committee alongside House Report 113-450. It was scheduled to be voted on in the House on May 20, 2014 under a suspension of the rules. Debate and discussion The organization Shared Hope International supported the bill, referring to it as "crucial legislation" in a letter they wrote for citizens to send to their representatives. In the letter, they argued that the bill "clarifies current law and codifies court decisions that the conduct of buyers who "solicit" and "patronize" commercial sex with a child are committing the crime of sex trafficking. Buyers of sex acts with children fuel the sex trafficking markets; without demand, traffickers will lose their profits and countless children will be spared the horrors of sexual exploitation." The organization also supported the bill for enabling state and local law enforcement to get wiretaps in state court for cases related to sex trafficking and improved on reporting systems.
