Relating to the creation of the Anti-Human-Trafficking Intelligence Center.
SB 389 creates the Anti-Human-Trafficking Intelligence Center within the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The bill establishes this center to coordinate law enforcement and government agencies responding to human trafficking, defined as offenses under Texas Penal Code Chapter 20A. Key provisions include requiring the department to enter agreements with law enforcement agencies for a chief intelligence coordinator (who may be a licensed peace officer) and mandating strict confidentiality for victim information collected under these agreements. The center aims to improve detection, prevention, and response to human trafficking through better information sharing and coordination among agencies.
