HB 1474 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

CONCERNING THE PREVENTION OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING; AND TO REQUIRE THE DISPLAY OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE.

HB 1474 requires certain businesses to display the national human trafficking hotline number (1-888-373-7888) in visible locations. It applies directly to hotels, airports, and liquor-permitted clubs that do not operate as food service establishments. The law mandates that these venues display the hotline information alongside details about services like showers, fuel, and parking. This became law as Act 484 on April 8, 2025, with no changes to trafficking prevention laws - only adding signage requirements for specified businesses.
