A 7905 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the composition of the interagency task force on human trafficking

Bill A 7905 amends New York's interagency task force on human trafficking to expand its membership and clarify reporting requirements. It adds 19 new members, including two each recommended by legislative leaders, two by a trafficking service nonprofit, one survivor of trafficking, and one by the state bar association, while keeping existing agency commissioners. The task force must submit annual reports to the governor and legislative leaders by March 1st, starting in 2026, and hold at least three public meetings yearly. This directly affects state agencies coordinating anti-trafficking efforts and ensures broader stakeholder input in their work.
