S 3935 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands duties of Commission on Human Trafficking to prevent human trafficking in women and children of color.

This bill expands the duties of New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking to specifically address prevention efforts for women and children of color. It amends existing state law to require the commission to evaluate current laws and victim assistance programs, with a focus on ensuring these services adequately reach marginalized communities. The commission, composed of 15 members including law enforcement, victim advocates, and survivors, will develop public awareness campaigns and coordinate resources to combat trafficking. The legislation does not create new enforcement powers but directs the commission to analyze gaps in current protections and make legislative recommendations to address them.
