Every person, firm, or corporation operating a hotel or motel in Minnesota must ensure each on-site employee receives sex trafficking prevention training within 90 days of hire or 120 days of the effective date, and annually thereafter.

Training must cover what sex trafficking is, how to recognize potential victims, activities commonly associated with trafficking, and how to report suspected trafficking to law enforcement.

Hotel and motel operators must conduct ongoing awareness campaigns addressing training components and post commissioner-approved informational posters in places accessible to employees.

Operators must annually certify in an employee roster or personnel file that each employee has received the approved training.

All costs incurred for the training program are the responsibility of the lodging facility operator, effective August 1, 2018.
