Requires public transportation employees and certain motorbus operators to complete training course on handling and responding to suspected human trafficking; requires inclusion of certain content in certain courses.*

This bill requires public transportation employees in New Jersey to complete a one-time training course on recognizing and responding to suspected human trafficking. The New Jersey Transit Corporation must develop or approve the training, which must include specific content about known signs and signals trafficked victims might display or observers might notice in public spaces. Current employees must complete the training within two years of the law's effective date, while new hires must complete it within six months of starting their position. Verifiable completion becomes a condition for maintaining employment for required staff.
