S 6462 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the operation of a youth services unit within the port authority police department

S 6462 creates a youth services unit within the Port Authority Police Department to assist young people at risk of exploitation, particularly runaways who may face human or sex trafficking. The unit will operate at Port Authority bus terminals, airports, Trans-Hudson stations, and the World Trade Center, focusing on intercepting at-risk youth, collaborating with social workers and undercover officers, identifying vulnerabilities early, stopping perpetrators, and connecting youth with family or support services. It authorizes the Port Authority to establish necessary rules for implementing this unit. The bill requires New Jersey to enact identical legislation first for it to take effect, or it becomes effective immediately if New Jersey has already passed similar law.
