Requires DCA, in consultation with Commission on Human Trafficking, to establish Statewide initiative for Red Sand Project.

S 2975 requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA), in collaboration with the Commission on Human Trafficking, to establish a statewide "Red Sand Project" awareness initiative during January (Human Trafficking Prevention Month). The initiative will use red sand poured in sidewalk cracks - a public awareness method created by artist Molly Gochman - to highlight human trafficking victims who "fall through the cracks" of social systems. Funding for the project may come from the existing Human Trafficking Survivor’s Assistance Fund, as authorized under current law. This bill directly affects state agencies and aims to strengthen public education about trafficking prevention and victim resources.
