HOUSE RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING JANUARY OF 2025, AS "RHODE ISLAND SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

HR 5060 designates January 2025 as "Rhode Island Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month" in the state. The resolution does not create new laws or provide funding - it is a symbolic observance to raise awareness about human trafficking, referencing global statistics and past national observances. The bill directs Rhode Island's Secretary of State to send certified copies to the U.S. President, Rhode Island Governor, and UN Secretary-General. This is a commemorative measure with no direct impact on individuals or new policy implementation.
