This bill mandates the appointment of a State Human Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention Coordinator by the Commissioner of Children and Families. The coordinator must possess the necessary qualifications and will be responsible for a range of duties, including developing training programs for professionals who work with youth survivors, coordinating with existing state services, and maintaining a comprehensive database of resources for these survivors. The coordinator will also identify service gaps, administer a grant program for trauma-informed services, and seek federal funding to support anti-human trafficking efforts.

Additionally, the bill establishes a grant program aimed at providing culturally specific services to youth aged 16 to 25 who are survivors of human trafficking or child sexual exploitation. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to various organizations that meet the program's criteria, and the coordinator will oversee the application process and establish selection criteria. The coordinator is required to submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing grant activities, including the number of applicants and awards, as well as recommendations for the program's future.
