Summary

The law mandates that all public or quasi‑public transportation stations, rest areas and welcome centers display a sign with the state and national human‑trafficking hotline. It also requires employers at strip clubs, other sexually‑oriented businesses, former prostitution nuisances, job‑recruitment centers, hospitals and emergency‑care providers to post the same sign where employees and the public can see it. Employers who knowingly fail to do so are fined $300 per violation, and the fines are deposited into a violent‑crimes indemnity fund.
