This bill aims to enhance human trafficking and exploitation prevention and awareness education in public and tribal schools in North Dakota. It mandates that school districts and tribal governing boards adopt policies for educating students and faculty on these issues. Specifically, the bill requires schoolwide education for students in grades six, ten, and twelve, and offers optional workshops or materials for parents and guardians to support their children's understanding of personal safety and grooming prevention.

The education provided under this new section must be developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive, and adhere to best practices. It can be delivered by nonprofit organizations specializing in human trafficking outreach and education and must be conducted annually. The curriculum will cover various topics, including definitions of human trafficking, state laws, victim profiling tactics, the role of online activity, and actionable steps for reporting suspected cases. This comprehensive approach aims to equip students and their families with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize and combat human trafficking and exploitation.
