Requires Attorney General to establish Human Trafficking Unit in Department of Law and Public Safety.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create a dedicated Human Trafficking Unit within the Department of Law and Public Safety. The unit must prosecute trafficking cases, assist counties with investigations, connect victims to support services, and collaborate with state agencies (like Health, Labor, and Homeland Security) and local prosecutors. It also mandates ongoing training for law enforcement on trafficking cases and requires a public awareness campaign to educate about trafficking signs, consequences, and victim support. The unit's coordinator must annually report to the Governor and Legislature on its work and suggest policy improvements.
