Requires training on human trafficking conducted by the department of public safety to include instruction on victims' statements

This bill requires the Department of Public Safety to include specific training on victims' statements in its human trafficking instruction for law enforcement officers. The legislation also establishes an affirmative defense for prostitution charges if the defendant was coerced through force or threats, and mandates that agencies notify social services when they encounter potential trafficking victims. Furthermore, it authorizes the Department of Social Services to coordinate with various organizations to provide support services such as housing, counseling, and job training to confirmed victims. Finally, the bill creates new legal avenues for victims to sue traffickers for damages and allows the Attorney General to seek civil penalties from entities that profit from trafficking violations.
