Expands function of Commission on Human Trafficking to include promoting coordinated response by law enforcement to human trafficking.
This bill expands the responsibilities of New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking to specifically promote coordination among state and local law enforcement agencies in addressing human trafficking cases. The commission, currently composed of 15 members including officials from law enforcement, victim services, and advocacy groups, will now be required to foster collaboration between agencies like the Attorney General's office, county prosecutors, and local police to improve investigations and prosecutions. This change builds on the commission's existing duties of evaluating anti-trafficking laws and reviewing victim services, adding a clear focus on interagency coordination. The bill does not alter the commission's structure or funding but mandates this new coordination role as part of its annual reporting to the governor and legislature.
