S 4320 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes majority of Commission on Human Trafficking membership to exercise powers and duties of commission.

This bill changes the quorum requirement for New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking. Currently, the commission needs 9 members (a majority of its 17-member authorized membership) present to conduct business, which has made it difficult to function due to vacancies. The bill would allow the commission to operate with a majority of its current members present, rather than requiring a fixed number of 9 members. This change aims to help the commission more effectively evaluate human trafficking laws, review victim assistance programs, and make recommendations to the state legislature. The commission, created in 2013, is responsible for analyzing human trafficking policies and promoting awareness of victim services.
