What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires any employee of a community-based residential facility who
has regular, direct contact with facility residents to receive training on identifying
and preventing human trafficking crimes within 60 days after starting employment
and at least every two years thereafter.
The bill also requires employers to provide, within 60 days of an employee's hire
and at least every two years thereafter, training on identifying and preventing
human trafficking crimes to employees who are likely to interact with the public and
vulnerable individuals. Under the bill, the training must be provided, at a minimum,
to private security officers, hotel and motel owners and managers, public transit
managers, and adult entertainment establishment owners and managers. Also
under the bill, except with respect to individuals who are required by law to report
suspected human trafficking, a failure to report a case of human trafficking does not
automatically subject an owner or employee to liability to the human trafficking
victim or to any other party.
