Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Senate Bill 960 removes the requirement for the Department of Safety and Professional Services to be involved in developing instruction materials on human trafficking for barbering and cosmetology schools. Instead, the focus is now solely on the Department of Justice's role in identifying what these materials should include. This change streamlines the instruction process, ensuring that schools directly provide critical training on recognizing and reporting human trafficking, which is essential for equipping future professionals to respond effectively to at-risk individuals.
