Bill > SB270

This bill amends the California Civil Code to require hotels and motels in the state to train their employees who are likely to interact with victims of human trafficking. The training program must be approved by the California Department of Justice and cover the definition of human trafficking, how to identify individuals at risk, the difference between labor and sex trafficking in the hotel sector, and the role of hospitality employees in reporting and responding to this issue. The Department of Justice is required to develop an approved training program for hotels and motels and post it on their website, and may also approve private training programs. The bill mandates that this training be incorporated into the initial training process for new employees and provided to all existing employees who did not receive the initial training, by January 1, 2019.

Budget and Finance, Justice
