S 3934 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires hotels to establish telecommunications system that connects callers directly to NJ Human Trafficking Hotline; requires hotel employees to report human trafficking alerts to law enforcement.

This bill requires hotels in New Jersey to install a telecommunications system that connects callers directly to the state's Human Trafficking Hotline when they dial a specific code from their room phone. It also mandates that hotel employees receive alerts when this code is dialed and immediately report those alerts to law enforcement. The law applies to buildings meeting the state's definition of a hotel, though the Commissioner of Community Affairs may exempt smaller establishments based on factors like size and available phone infrastructure. Hotels must also ensure at least one working telephone is installed in every guest room to support this system.
