The proposed bill amends Chapter 140 of the General Laws by adding a new section, 6C, which mandates human trafficking recognition training for employees of certain hospitality establishments, defined as qualified accommodations, including hotels, motels, lodging houses, and bed and breakfast establishments. The bill specifies that every licensed innholder must ensure that their employees complete an attorney general-approved training program, which can be integrated into existing training. Additionally, innholders are required to post a written notice in visible areas of their establishments, including the lobby and public restrooms, as developed by the attorney general.

The bill outlines the responsibilities of the attorney general, including the creation of a list of approved training programs and the development of a standard written notice that includes the national human trafficking hotline number. The training programs must cover essential topics such as the nature of human trafficking, its legal definitions, and how to identify victims. Furthermore, the attorney general is tasked with promulgating necessary regulations to implement these requirements effectively.
