HB 1916 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires hospital employees and first responders to receive training on detecting and reporting human trafficking

This bill requires hospitals and first responder agencies to provide mandatory training on human trafficking to their employees. The training must include at least twenty minutes of interactive education covering definitions of trafficking, how to identify at-risk individuals, and the proper procedures for reporting suspected cases. Covered organizations must offer this training to current staff by January 1, 2026, and to new hires within six months of their employment, with subsequent sessions required every two years. The Department of Health and Senior Services has the authority to issue compliance orders if an agency fails to meet these requirements.
