State Government / California / Legislation / AB 1918

AB 1918Session 20252026HouseSent to governor

Human trafficking: body art practitioners.

Existing law requires certain businesses or establishments to post a notice relating to slavery and human trafficking, including hotlines and available services and support information. Existing law requires certain businesses or establishments to provide certain employees at least 20 minutes of training on human trafficking, as specified. Under existing law, the training must cover certain subjects, including how to recognize human trafficking. The training may also include information and material utilized by private nonprofit organizations that represent the interests of human trafficking victims and the Department of Justice, among other things. This bill would additionally require body art facilities, by July 1, 2027, to post the above-described notice and to provide the human trafficking training to their employees and registered practitioners, as specified. The bill would instead authorize the training to include evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum developed by the above-described nonprofit organizations and information and material available on the Department of Justice's internet website.
