Bill > SB376

This bill provides that a victim of human trafficking or abuse has the right to have a human trafficking advocate and a support person of the victim's choosing present at an interview by a law enforcement authority, prosecutor, or the suspect's defense attorney. The bill requires the human trafficking advocate to advise the victim of the applicable limitations on the confidentiality of the victim's communications with the advocate. The bill also requires the attending law enforcement authority or prosecutor to notify the victim of their right to have a human trafficking advocate and support person present at the interview. The bill specifies that no reimbursement is required for local agencies to implement this new notification requirement, as it creates a new crime or infraction.
