A 1413 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes majority of Commission on Human Trafficking membership to exercise powers and duties of commission.

This bill amends the operational rules for New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking, allowing the commission to begin functioning once a majority of its 17 members are appointed (rather than requiring all members to be appointed first). The commission, established in 2013, evaluates human trafficking laws, reviews victim services, and promotes public awareness. The key change is that a majority (9 or more members) can now form a quorum to exercise the commission's powers, including organizing meetings and making recommendations. This procedural adjustment ensures the commission can start its work without waiting for full membership appointments. The bill does not alter the commission's duties, membership requirements, or substantive responsibilities.
