SENATE RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING JANUARY OF 2025, AS "RHODE ISLAND SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This Senate Resolution (SR 164) designates January 2025 as "Rhode Island Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month" to raise awareness about human trafficking. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally recognizes the issue through state-level commemoration. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to the President, Rhode Island Governor, and UN Secretary-General. It is purely symbolic, aligning with national observances since 2018 that focus on prevention efforts and global collaboration.
