This bill specifies additional services for victims of sex trafficking and domestic violence, and makes a $1,000,000 appropriation from the General Fund to the Human Trafficking Survivor's Assistance Fund to establish and implement these requirements. Specifically, the bill directs the Attorney General to establish a program to ensure that victims are provided with a safe haven at fire stations, where firefighters can refer them to appropriate emergency shelters, legal assistance, victim advocacy services, and community resources. The bill also outlines training and educational requirements for firefighters, victim evaluation criteria, anti-discrimination protections, and additional training to enable firefighters to serve as referral sources for victims. Finally, the bill authorizes the Attorney General to adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the act.
