On March 18, 2010, Beth Klein testified at the Colorado House Judiciary Committee in support of her proposed Anti-Human Trafficking legislation, SB10-140. It was later referred, unamended, to the entire House Committee. Klein authored the bill after years of involvement in international child slavery advocacy. Klein works closely with several organizations that work to rescue women from the sex slavery trade, and then help these women rebuild their lives. The 2010 Anti-Human Trafficking Bill for Colorado aims to add human trafficking to the Organized Crime Act. According to the bill, it, "repeals and relocates, with amendments, provisions relating to trafficking in adults, trafficking in children, and coercion of involuntary servitude." Klein reports that human trafficking is becoming more widespread than drug trafficking, noting that "the distinction of people and drugs is that you can use a person over and over and over again," She adds, "This bill addresses how we can go and find and break through those networks so that we can stop it."
