The bill amends Section 11-67.1-20 of the General Laws regarding the display of public-awareness signs related to human trafficking. It specifies that the Department of Transportation is responsible for ensuring the display of these signs, which must include the contact information for the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. The signs must be at least 8.5 inches by 11 inches, printed in at least 16-point type, and include a message in both English and Spanish that provides information on how to seek help for victims of human trafficking.

The bill removes the provision that allowed the Department of Labor and Training to impose a $300 fine on employers who failed to comply with the signage requirement, making it the exclusive remedy for non-compliance. This act will take effect upon passage.
