Bill > HB1097

This bill requires gas stations in Indiana to display human trafficking awareness posters as part of a new legal chapter aimed at combating human trafficking. Specifically, the bill mandates that gas station owners or operators must display at least two posters on their premises that describe what human trafficking is, provide visual indicators of potential trafficking (such as signs of physical abuse or restricted movement), and include contact information for local law enforcement and a human trafficking hotline. The bill defines a gas station as an establishment primarily selling automotive fuels (including diesel fuel, gasohol, or gasoline), and is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. By requiring these informative posters in high-traffic public spaces like gas stations, the legislation seeks to raise public awareness about human trafficking and provide resources for potential victims or concerned observers to seek help.
