Bill > HB5025

This bill amends the Human Trafficking Notification Act to modify existing requirements for posting human trafficking notices in various public spaces. The bill expands on previous legislation by requiring human trafficking notices to be posted in several locations, including rest stops, welcome facilities, bus and rail stations, and certain other premises. Notably, the bill replaces the term "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" in describing properties that have been legally deemed public nuisances. The bill requires the Michigan Department of Transportation, local government units, transportation services, and specific entities like adult entertainment establishments and public airports to display these notices as directed by the department. Additionally, the bill includes two important enacting sections: one stipulating that the law will take effect 90 days after enactment, and another specifying that the bill is contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 5016). The goal of these changes appears to be increasing public awareness about human trafficking and providing resources to potential victims in high-traffic public spaces.
