I. Background
ACHT was re-chartered on July 29, 2022, using the Department's
authorities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Pub. L. 117-
58).\1\ The ACHT was initially established as mandated by sec. 5(a) of
the 2018 Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act (Pub.
L. 115-99).\2\ Sec. 23020 of the BIL requires the Secretary of
Transportation, acting through the ACHT and in coordination with the
Attorney General, to submit a triennial counter-trafficking report with
recommendations for countering human trafficking, an assessment of best
practices by transportation stakeholders, and human trafficking
violations involving commercial motor vehicles.
