Relating to the authority of a county attorney or district attorney to enforce human trafficking awareness and prevention in commercial lodging establishments.

SB 21 amends Texas law to give county and district attorneys authority to enforce human trafficking awareness requirements in hotels and motels (commercial lodging establishments). It requires prosecutors to provide written notice to lodging operators who violate these rules, giving them 30 days to fix the issue before facing civil penalties. The bill allows attorneys to sue for penalties or to obtain court orders requiring compliance, with penalties paid to the county where the lawsuit was filed. This applies specifically to enforcement actions by local prosecutors, not to creating new prevention requirements for lodging operators.
