S 1760 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Specifies additional services for victims of sex trafficking and domestic violence; makes $1,000,000 appropriation.

S 1760 establishes a statewide safe haven program at fire stations to assist victims of sex trafficking and domestic violence. It requires firefighters to receive specific training to identify victims, refer them to emergency shelters, legal aid, victim advocacy services, and community resources, while ensuring anti-discrimination protections regardless of citizenship status. The bill appropriates $1 million from the General Fund to the Human Trafficking Survivor’s Assistance Fund to implement this program, administered by the Attorney General in consultation with relevant state agencies. This policy change directly affects victims seeking immediate assistance and mandates new protocols for first responders.
