S 2245 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires public transportation employees and certain motorbus operators to complete training course on handling and responding to suspected human trafficking; requires inclusion of certain content in certain courses.

This bill (S 2245), now enacted as P.L.2025, c.343, requires specific employees to complete training on identifying and responding to human trafficking. It directly affects public transportation workers, motorbus operators, hotel/motel staff (including owners/operators), and healthcare facility employees. The training must cover recognizable signs/symbols of trafficking victims and is mandatory for license/permit renewal. Completion is required within one year for current staff or six months for new hires, with courses reviewed every two years. The law ties training to licensing under existing statutes (Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law, healthcare facility regulations).
