Bill Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the State Commission on Investigation to examine human trafficking activity at the places of business of persons who employ massage and bodywork therapists. This bill calls for the State Commission on Investigation to issue a report summarizing its investigation no later than two years after the resolution takes effect. The report may be delayed at the request of the Attorney General for up to an additional 120 days pursuant to section 7 of P.L.1996, c.44 (C.52:9M-8.1), due to information or evidence contained in the report showing a reasonable possibility of human trafficking or other criminal wrongdoing. The report would also include recommendations for consideration by the Governor and Legislature for further addressing human trafficking activity within these places of business.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the State Commission on Investigation (SCI), a state agency tasked with investigating matters of public peace, safety, and justice, to examine human trafficking activity at businesses that employ massage and bodywork therapists. Human trafficking is a serious crime where individuals are forced into sexual activity or labor through force, fraud, or coercion. The resolution is prompted by concerns, highlighted by a report from the Polaris Project, about the prevalence of human trafficking in illicit massage businesses, particularly in the New Jersey region. The SCI is required to issue a report summarizing its findings and offering recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within two years of the resolution taking effect, though this deadline can be extended by up to 120 days if the Attorney General requests a delay due to evidence of potential human trafficking or other criminal wrongdoing. The SCI will also cooperate with and share information with law enforcement officials and agencies, both within and outside the state, during its investigation.
