Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act of 2026

Introduced·1/22/26

Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act of 2026 establishes a certification program for employers in high-risk industries.

The Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act of 2026 mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a Blue Campaign Certification Program. This program encourages employers in industries with high human trafficking prevalence to train employees to recognize and respond to suspected trafficking. Eligible employers receive a certificate of completion, which they can display for one year. The Secretary reviews applications annually, collects fees to cover program costs, and submits annual reports to Congress. The act also prohibits employers from falsely claiming certification.
