AB 980

Under current law, the Department of Justice must provide on its website a

poster that provides information regarding a human trafficking resource center

hotline and encourage that various entities download the poster free of charge.

Current law also requires DOJ to encourage that the poster be displayed at all of the

following places: certain gas stations; hotels; adult entertainment establishments;

salons; places at which employers engage employees to perform agricultural labor;

hospitals or other medical centers; places at which athletic or sporting events occur;

establishments that operate as a massage parlor or spa, alternative health clinic, or

similar entity; various expositions; courthouses; Department of Transportation rest

areas; and public and private transit stations.

This bill requires the poster to be displayed at all of those locations and adds

the following to the list of places that must display the poster: premises that serve

alcoholic beverages, tattoo establishments, job recruitment centers,

community-based residential facilities, and public and private elementary and

secondary schools. The bill requires DOJ to monitor compliance with the

requirement to display the poster and to notify an operator of a business or

establishment that fails to do so that it must correct the violation within 30 days from

the date the notice is sent.
