An Act relative to posting information about the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline

This bill requires cosmetology and barbering businesses in Massachusetts to display a mandatory multilingual sign about human trafficking. The sign, approved by the attorney general, must include a warning about forced labor and the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-373-7888) in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Portuguese. It must be at least 8.5x11 inches, prominently displayed, with English covering at least half the sign. The Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering must provide sample signs and review language needs annually with the attorney general. The law directly affects all shops, schools, and mobile businesses operating under these licenses.
