This bill requires the Department of Justice to grant annual human trafficking awareness certifications to the operators of lodging establishments that provide human trafficking awareness training to certain employees, display a human trafficking awareness poster, and implement procedures for the reporting of suspected human trafficking. The bill defines a “lodging establishment” as a hotel, motel, inn, bed and breakfast establishment, or tourist rooming house.
The bill also requires DOJ to design a logotype to be used by lodging establishments granted the human trafficking awareness certification under the bill. Additionally, DOJ must use the receipts from the fees for obtaining a certification to investigate human trafficking crimes.
