Authorizes majority of Commission on Human Trafficking membership to exercise powers and duties of commission.
This bill amends New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking to allow a majority of its authorized members (not the full 17-member group) to exercise the commission's powers and duties. It does not change the commission's responsibilities, which include evaluating trafficking laws, reviewing victim services, promoting coordinated responses, and developing public awareness programs. The change ensures the commission can function effectively even if not all members are present, aligning with standard procedural practices. This is a procedural adjustment to the commission's operating rules.
