The bill aims to enhance the prevention of human trafficking in Arkansas by mandating specific establishments to display information about the National Human Trafficking Hotline. It amends Arkansas Code 12-19-102(a) to require that certain businesses, including hotels, strip clubs, private clubs, airports, train stations, bus stations, and facilities providing food and sanitary services, post a designated poster in restrooms and a conspicuous location near the entrance.

Notably, the bill removes the requirement for abortion facilities to display this information and replaces it with a requirement for nail salons and massage businesses licensed by the Department of Health to do so. This change reflects a broader effort to ensure that a wider range of establishments are involved in the fight against human trafficking by providing accessible resources for individuals in need of help.
