The bill provides that a person may be a victim of human trafficking regardless of whether any person has been charged with or convicted of any offense and that eligibility for in-state tuition may be proved by a certification of such status as a victim of human trafficking by a public or not-for-profit agency the primary mission of which is to provide services to victims of human trafficking. The bill also prohibits any institution of higher education from disclosing any personally identifying information or individual information related to the status of any non-Virginia student applying for in-state tuition as a victim of human trafficking.
