The resolution introduced by Rep. Steele aims to declare January 2026 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in Michigan. It highlights the serious issue of human trafficking, which is described as a modern form of slavery that affects individuals across various demographics. The resolution notes that Michigan ranks among the top 10 states for reported trafficking activity, with significant numbers of cases and identified victims. It emphasizes the importance of public awareness in combating this crime and the efforts of law enforcement and advocacy organizations in preventing trafficking and supporting survivors.

Furthermore, the resolution encourages all residents of Michigan to engage in activities that promote awareness, prevention, and action against human trafficking. It also calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to relevant state agencies, including the Michigan State Police and the Department of Health and Human Services, to symbolize the state's commitment to addressing and ultimately ending human trafficking.
