Department of Transportation – Human Trafficking Awareness, Training, and Response (See Someone, Save Someone Act)

SB 7, the "See Someone, Save Someone Act," requires Maryland transportation sector employees (including state workers and contractors at transit stations, airports, ports, and rest stops) to complete human trafficking identification and reporting training by 2026. Employers must certify training completion annually, establish reporting procedures for suspected trafficking to local agencies, and implement prevention policies with victim recognition and response guidance. The law also protects employees reporting in good faith from civil/criminal liability and mandates frequent multilingual public service announcements about trafficking resources at transportation hubs. The bill takes effect October 1, 2025, and applies to all relevant transportation employers and their staff.
