The Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study of the effectiveness and impact of grants authorized under part LL of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as added by section 202. The Attorney General and grant recipients shall provide the Comptroller General with all relevant documents and information that the Comptroller General considers necessary to conduct the study under subsection (a), including the identities and criminal records of program participants.

In assessing the effectiveness of the grants made under programs authorized under part LL of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, the Comptroller General shall consider, among other things— recidivism rates of program participants; completion rates among program participants; and the costs of the program to the criminal justice system. Not later than January 1, 2017, the Comptroller General shall submit a report to Congress that contains the results of the study conducted under subsection (a).

Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees that identifies— the extent of any service gap that may persist between trafficking victims who are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents and foreign nationals residing in the United States since the completion of the study required under 213(b) of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Act ( Public Law 110–457 ); if a service gap described in paragraph

(1)persists— the progress that Federal agencies have made in closing the gap since 2009; and the deficiencies remaining as of the date of the enactment of this Act; the extent to which efficiencies could be achieved and duplication could be avoided by consolidating existing Federal grant programs for trafficking survivors that are administered by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice; and options for additional legislative or regulatory changes to help ensure that the Nation’s criminal justice policies are adequate to combat sex trafficking of minors.
