NJ A1413

Amends the quorum requirements for New Jersey's Commission on Human Trafficking to allow a majority of current members to conduct business, rather than requiring a majority of the 17 "authorized" positions (currently 9 members)

Addresses operational challenges caused by vacancies on the commission that have made it difficult to achieve quorum and perform required duties

The Commission on Human Trafficking, established in 2013, is responsible for evaluating human trafficking laws, reviewing victim assistance programs, promoting coordinated responses for victims, and developing public awareness mechanisms

Commission members include state officials, law enforcement representatives, victim assistance organizations, healthcare representatives, and a human trafficking survivor, with public members serving three-year terms

The commission must report annually to the Governor and Legislature on its activities, findings, and recommendations for victim services and changes to human trafficking law
