Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a program to recognize and certify organizations and businesses that provide training to their employees about identifying and reporting human trafficking. The measure aims to increase awareness of trafficking among workers across different industries, potentially helping more victims get help by training people who regularly interact with the public—like hotel staff, truck drivers, and healthcare workers—to spot warning signs.
