Awareness of human trafficking.

HB 1097, titled "Awareness of human trafficking," would have required gas stations to display human trafficking awareness posters. The bill directly affected gas station operators by mandating the placement of these posters at their locations. Its key mechanism was the requirement for businesses to display specific educational materials to increase public awareness of human trafficking. The bill was introduced by Representative Bartlett on January 8, 2025, and referred to committee, but it was withdrawn on January 13, 2025, and did not advance further. This proposed measure aimed to leverage high-traffic locations like gas stations to disseminate anti-trafficking information.
