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 about human trafficking, which includes sex trafficking. 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 is to be delivered annually and may include a variety of topics such as definitions of human trafficking, state laws, victim profiling tactics, the impact of online activity, and actionable steps for reporting suspected trafficking. The bill emphasizes the importance of equipping students and their families with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize and combat human trafficking and exploitation.
