This bill mandates that the Attorney General of New Jersey 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 explore additional areas of concern as deemed necessary.

The legislation is a direct response to a report from the Commission of Investigation, which highlighted issues related to human trafficking in the massage and bodywork therapy industry in New Jersey. By requiring a comprehensive review of the current policies, the bill aims to enhance the effectiveness of investigations and ensure the protection and proper treatment of victims involved in human trafficking cases. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
