S 1716 New Jersey Senate · 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 duties of New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking to specifically require it to promote coordinated responses between state and local law enforcement agencies for investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases. The Commission, which includes members from law enforcement, victim advocacy groups, and human trafficking survivors, will now be tasked with facilitating collaboration among prosecutors, police, and other agencies. This change builds on the Commission's existing responsibilities to evaluate trafficking laws, review victim services, and develop public awareness efforts. The policy change directly affects how law enforcement agencies coordinate their work on trafficking cases within New Jersey.
