AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require that public awareness signs, which display a national 24-hour hotline for human trafficking information, must now include notices in Chinese and Korean, in addition to English and Spanish. These signs are mandated in a variety of public places, including strip clubs, massage businesses, bars, airports, train and bus stations, hospitals, and hotels, with the goal of increasing awareness and providing resources to victims. This change is a direct response to a report from the Commission of Investigation that examined human trafficking within the massage and bodywork therapy industry in New Jersey.
