The bill amends the Human Trafficking Notification Act by updating definitions and requirements for posting human trafficking notices. It introduces new definitions for "adult entertainment establishment," "department," and "hotel," clarifying the types of establishments that fall under these categories. Specifically, it defines "hotel" as any building or group of buildings providing lodging to travelers, which includes motels and inns. Additionally, the term "human trafficking notice" is refined to specify that it refers to the notice described in section 5 of the act.
Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of various entities regarding the posting of human trafficking notices. It mandates that the Department of Transportation, local governments operating rest stops or welcome facilities, and public transportation authorities must display these notices. The bill also specifies that any entity found to be a public nuisance due to prostitution or human trafficking, adult entertainment establishments, public airports, and hotels are required to post the notices on their premises. The language changes emphasize the importance of awareness and prevention of human trafficking in Michigan.
