The proposed bill seeks to establish the human trafficking employee education study committee with the purpose of evaluating training methods for retail and lodging business employees to identify and respond to potential victims of human trafficking. The committee will consist of a diverse group of 15 appointed members, including legislators, government officials, and individuals with expertise or experience in human trafficking, law enforcement, healthcare, social work, and academia.
The committee is tasked with meeting at least twice, developing recommendations for educating businesses about human trafficking, and submitting a report on their findings and recommendations by June 30, 2026. The bill also stipulates that the committee will be disbanded after December 31, 2026, and members may receive reimbursement for expenses. Administrative support for the committee will be provided by the house of representatives.
