Bill Summary
This bill requires public schools enrolling students in grades nine through 12 to display certain information on human trafficking. Under current law, the Commission on Human Trafficking is required to develop language for a public awareness sign that contains the national, 24-hour toll-free hotline telephone service on human trafficking. The sign is to be no smaller than eight and one-half inches by eleven inches in size, printed in 16-point font, in English and Spanish. Certain entities are required, to the extent practicable, to display the public awareness sign. Under this bill, a public school that enrolls students in grades nine through 12 is required to display the public awareness sign developed by the Commission on Human Trafficking in a place that is clearly visible to employees, students, and the parents or guardians of enrolled students.
AI Summary
This bill requires all public high schools (those enrolling students in grades 9-12) to prominently display a public awareness sign about human trafficking. The sign, which has been previously developed by the Commission on Human Trafficking, must be positioned in a location that is clearly visible to employees, students, and parents or guardians of enrolled students. The sign will include the national 24-hour toll-free hotline for human trafficking, and is mandated to be at least 8.5 by 11 inches in size, printed in 16-point font, and available in both English and Spanish. The purpose of the bill is to increase awareness about human trafficking and provide critical contact information to help potential victims or those who might recognize signs of trafficking. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, meaning schools will be required to display the sign as soon as possible after the law is passed.
