Provides for the operation of a youth services unit within the port authority police department
This bill directs the Port Authority Police Department to establish a youth services unit at its major transportation hubs, including bus terminals, airports, and the World Trade Center. The unit's primary role is to protect young people from exploitation by intercepting runaways, collaborating with social workers, identifying potential victims, and helping reunite them with their families. It also empowers the police to prosecute offenders involved in trafficking and provides referrals for necessary services. The legislation will only become effective if New Jersey passes a matching law, ensuring coordinated efforts across the region.
