An Act requiring the Department of Family and Community Services to develop a shared screening methodology; requiring shelters for runaway minors to screen minors for victimization relating to sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation; requiring the Department of Family and Community Services to screen children in need of aid for victimization relating to sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation; and relating to the duty of the Department of Family and Community Services to investigate the experiences of missing children in need of aid who have been located.

HB 150 requires Alaska's Department of Family and Community Services (DFCS) to create a shared screening method to identify children affected by sexual abuse, sex trafficking, or commercial sexual exploitation. Shelters for runaway minors must screen minors upon intake and when risk factors arise, while DFCS must screen children in its care at initial commitment and when victimization is suspected. The bill also mandates DFCS to investigate the experiences of missing children in its custody who are located, including screening them for these specific issues. These requirements apply to children under DFCS supervision or receiving services from shelters, with implementation required within one year. The law aims to standardize victim identification and response across relevant agencies.
