The bill amends Section 11-67.1-20 of the "Uniform Act on Prevention of and Remedies for Human Trafficking" to specify the requirements for displaying public-awareness signs regarding human trafficking. The responsibility for displaying these signs is shifted from "any public or quasi-public transportation agency" to "the department of transportation," which must ensure that signs containing the state and national human trafficking resource center hotline information are posted in all public transportation stations, rest areas, and welcome centers. 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.

Additionally, the bill mandates that employers in specific sectors, such as strip clubs, job-recruitment centers, and hospitals, display the public-awareness sign in a conspicuous location for employees and the public. Notably, the bill removes the provision that allowed the department of labor and training to impose a $300 fine on employers for failing to comply with the signage requirement, making it clear that there will no longer be a financial penalty for non-compliance. This act will take effect upon passage.
