Bill > SB1022

This bill establishes the California Multidisciplinary Alliance to Stop Trafficking Act (California MAST) task force, which will review how government and non-profit organizations collaborate to protect victims and survivors of human trafficking, map the state's progress in combating trafficking, and recommend ways to improve efforts. The task force will be composed of various state officials, including representatives from the Attorney General's office, labor, social services, health, emergency services, and housing departments, as well as appointees with expertise in human trafficking, including survivors. This task force is mandated to hold its first meeting by July 1, 2027, meet at least four times, and report its findings and recommendations annually to the Office of Emergency Services, the Governor, the Attorney General, and the Legislature, starting by January 1, 2029. The bill also makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law regarding penalties for human trafficking, which was originally established by the Californians Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) Act, a voter-approved initiative.
