A 206 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands function of Commission on Human Trafficking to include promoting coordinated response by law enforcement to human trafficking.

This bill expands the Commission on Human Trafficking's duties to specifically promote coordinated responses among state and local law enforcement agencies - including the Attorney General's office, county prosecutors, and local police - to improve human trafficking investigations and prosecutions. It directly affects law enforcement agencies by requiring the Commission to develop mechanisms for better collaboration between these entities. The key provision adds a new requirement under Section f(3)(b) of the Commission's mandate, directing it to facilitate coordination "to facilitate human trafficking investigations and prosecutions." The bill does not create new penalties or funding but focuses on improving existing interagency communication and resource-sharing for law enforcement.
