The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Mizell, aims to recreate and continue the work of the Task Force on Human Trafficking Arrests, which was initially formed to address the significant gap between the number of reported human trafficking victims and the arrests of traffickers in Louisiana. The resolution highlights alarming statistics from a January 2021 report indicating over 700 victims reported to the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, with a particular focus on the role of illicit massage parlors in contributing to human trafficking. The task force's authority had previously expired on February 1, 2023, but the resolution emphasizes the ongoing need for its efforts to study these issues and propose legislative recommendations.

The newly formed task force will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from law enforcement, advocacy organizations, and relevant state associations. It is tasked with convening its first meeting by September 1, 2023, and must submit a written report with findings and recommendations by February 1, 2024. The resolution also stipulates that the task force will operate without compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements, and will seek input from relevant organizations, such as The Dragonfly Harbor, to inform its study. The task force will dissolve upon the submission of its report or on February 1, 2024, whichever comes first.
