Under existing law, anyone who deprives or violates the personal liberty of another with the intent to obtain forced labor or services, or with the intent to effect a violation of specified sex crimes is guilty of human trafficking. Under existing law, any person who causes a minor to engage in a commercial sex act, with the intent to violate specified sex crimes, is guilty of human trafficking. This bill would create the Statewide Interagency Human Trafficking Task Force within the Department of Justice, which would consist of representatives from several state agencies and be chaired by a representative from the Department of Justice. The bill would require the task force to gather statewide data on sex and labor traffickers, sex buyers, and human trafficking victims to recommend interagency protocols and best practices for training and outreach to law enforcement, victim service providers, and other state and private sector employees likely to encounter human trafficking and to evaluate and implement approaches to increase public awareness about human trafficking. The bill would authorize the task force to create an advisory committee or advisory committees comprised of subject matter experts, as provided. The bill would prohibit the task force from duplicating the protocols developed by the California Child Welfare Council.
