This bill mandates the Attorney General of New Jersey to review and potentially revise the existing Statewide policy on human trafficking investigations. The review will focus on several key areas, including the use of audio or video recordings 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 of concern as deemed necessary.

The legislation is a direct response to recommendations from a report by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation, which highlighted issues related to human trafficking in the massage and bodywork therapy industry. The bill aims 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.
