S 3528 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Commission on Human Trafficking to create report on human trafficking related to 2026 FIFA World Cup; appropriates $1 million.*

New Jersey's S 3528 creates the Governor's Survivor Leader Advisory Council within the Department of Health to address human trafficking risks linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The council, composed of nine survivor-led members with trafficking expertise, must hold at least eight meetings yearly and submit a detailed report to the Governor and Legislature within 240 days of enactment. Key provisions include evaluating existing anti-trafficking laws, recommending new programs or hotlines, developing public awareness campaigns (including signage), and coordinating with law enforcement. The bill appropriates $1 million for the council's operations and requires the Attorney General to issue trafficking response guidelines for law enforcement. This directly affects state agencies, survivors serving on the council, and the public through enhanced trafficking prevention measures during the World Cup event.
