This bill establishes a committee tasked with studying approaches to combat store-front sex trafficking in New Hampshire. The committee will consist of three members from the House of Representatives and one member from the Senate, all appointed by their respective leaders. Members will receive mileage compensation for their duties and may seek input from relevant individuals and organizations. The committee's study will encompass a review of past legislative and non-legislative efforts to combat sex trafficking, input from various stakeholders, and consideration of non-traditional approaches, such as lease terminations for suspected trafficking entities. Additionally, the committee will investigate the potential for extending protections to male victims of sex trafficking and will draft a proposal for legislation to be introduced in the 2026 session.

The bill includes specific duties for the committee, such as analyzing the reasons for previous legislative failures, assessing the impact on legitimate businesses, and differentiating between victims and willing participants in sex work. The committee is required to report its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2025. The act will take effect upon passage, and the legal language does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions related to the establishment and functioning of the committee.
