AI Summary
This bill establishes the Human Trafficking Employee Education Study Committee, a group comprised of various stakeholders including legislators, state agency representatives (like the Attorney General and the Department of Public Safety), economic development council members, academics specializing in human trafficking research, healthcare providers, social workers, law enforcement officers, and tribal community representatives. The committee's primary duty is to explore and recommend effective ways to train employees in retail and lodging businesses, in both urban and rural settings, on how to recognize and assist potential victims of human trafficking. The House of Representatives will provide administrative support for the committee, and its members will be eligible for expense reimbursement. The committee is required to meet at least twice and must submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and legislative leadership by June 30, 2028, after which this section of the law will be repealed on December 31, 2028.
