This bill mandates the Attorney General to review and potentially revise the Statewide policy concerning the investigation of human trafficking. The review will focus on several key areas, including the use of audio or video recording by law enforcement during undercover operations, the establishment of strict policies for the dissemination of such recordings to protect victims, and the involvement of county prosecutors throughout the investigation process to address any legal challenges that may arise. The Attorney General is also empowered to consider additional areas as deemed necessary.

The bill is a response to recommendations from a report by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation, which highlighted concerns regarding human trafficking activities, particularly in the massage and bodywork therapy industry. The proposed changes aim to enhance the integrity of investigations and ensure the proper treatment of victims, thereby strengthening the overall approach to combating human trafficking in the state. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
