Permits victims and witnesses of human trafficking to testify in criminal proceedings via closed circuit television; permits judge to make motion to seek closed circuit testimony.

This bill expands the types of cases where a victim or witness can testify via closed-circuit television to protect them from severe emotional distress. It allows this method in cases involving domestic violence, child endangerment, or child abuse, in addition to existing sexual assault and human trafficking charges. The court must ensure the defendant can still cross-examine the witness and observe their demeanor, while protecting the witness from the defendant's presence.
