Establishes New Jersey Human Trafficking Criminal Registry; requires establishment of educational curricula related to human trafficking.
This bill creates the New Jersey Human Trafficking Criminal Registry, an online database that will provide public information about individuals convicted of human trafficking offenses who are incarcerated, on parole, or participating in residential community release programs. The registry will be divided into four categories with specific details about each person's conviction, sentence, location, and criminal history. Additionally, the bill requires mandatory training for police officers, hotel/motel staff, healthcare facility employees, and judges on identifying and responding to human trafficking cases. It also mandates age-appropriate human trafficking prevention education in New Jersey schools, covering topics like online safety, healthy relationships, and recognizing grooming tactics from elementary through high school.
