SB 940

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.
