S 2460 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs fines collected for certain prostitution crime to "Human Trafficking Survivor's Assistance Fund."

S 2460 requires that fines and penalties from specific prostitution-related offenses be paid into the Human Trafficking Survivor's Assistance Fund (HTSAF). This applies to fines for people who pay for sex (a disorderly persons offense) and penalties for more serious crimes like promoting prostitution of minors or compelling others into prostitution, with penalties ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. The bill mandates these funds be deposited directly into the HTSAF instead of general municipal or state funds. The HTSAF uses these resources to provide services to trafficking victims, promote awareness, and develop educational programs, as established by prior law.
