AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

In 2021, the legislature passed S.B. 1831 by Senator Larry Taylor requiring the posting of warning signs of increased human trafficking penalties. S.B. 2069 defined "school" to include public or private secondary schools being required to post the signage.

S.B. 2069 removes the requirement that private primary and secondary schools post this signage.

As proposed, S.B. 2069 amends current law relating to the required posting of signs regarding human trafficking penalties by certain schools.
