The FBI must classify human trafficking as a serious crime in national crime reports, with subcategories for state sex crimes involving minors or force. The FBI must also update its reporting systems to separate different prostitution-related crimes — like promoting, purchasing, and providing commercial sex. Separate categories apply when someone under 18 is involved.

(a) Classifying trafficking. The FBI Director must (1) classify human trafficking as a "Part I crime" in the Uniform Crime Reports; (2) as much as possible, create subcategories for state sex crimes involving (A) a person under 18, (B) force, fraud, or coercion, or (C) neither of those; and (3) classify human trafficking as a "Group A offense" in the National Incident-Based Reporting System. (b) More detailed reporting. The FBI Director must revise the Uniform Crime Reporting System and the National Incident-Based Reporting System to separately track (1) assisting or promoting prostitution — crimes by people who do not directly take part in commercial sex acts but direct, manage, or profit from them, such as state pimping and pandering crimes; (2) purchasing prostitution — crimes by people who buy or try to buy or trade something of value for commercial sex acts; (3) prostitution itself — crimes by people who provide or try to provide commercial sex acts; (4) assisting or promoting prostitution, illegal child labor, or forced labor involving someone under 18, as described in paragraph (1); and (5) purchasing or soliciting commercial sex acts, illegal child labor, or forced labor involving someone under 18, as described in paragraph (2).
