Summary

The bill directs the Office of Emergency Services (OES) to sponsor a special license‑plate design that raises awareness of human trafficking. Fees from the plates are deposited into a new Survivors of Human Trafficking License Plate Fund, and OES uses those monies to award grants to community groups that are led by or heavily guided by survivors and serve high‑need areas. The program aims to provide direct assistance to trafficking survivors while increasing public visibility of the issue.
