18 added · 19 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes to HB 1569 broaden the focus from specifically “sex trafficking” to a more general “human trafficking” curriculum for students. This means that the curriculum will now cover various aspects of human trafficking, including how to identify risk factors and recognize signs of grooming, rather than just sex trafficking. This is important because it provides a more comprehensive understanding of human trafficking and helps equip students with the knowledge to recognize and report all forms of trafficking. Overall, it aims to enhance prevention efforts and raise awareness in a more inclusive manner.
