What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Justice, in consultation with the Technical

College System Board, the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and the

Cosmetology Examining Board, to identify and establish industry specific materials

for use in providing instruction to students in schools of barbering, schools of

cosmetology, and specialty schools in the recognition and reporting of human

trafficking. Specialty schools are establishments that offer instruction in aesthetics,

electrology, or manicuring. Further, under the bill, DSPS and the Cosmetology

Examining Board must require that schools of barbering, schools of cosmetology, and

specialty schools provide instruction on the dynamics of exploitation including

vulnerabilities that put people at risk of being trafficked and how to recognize and

report suspected human trafficking as identified by DOJ under the bill.
