SB1422

Illinois SB1422 mandates human trafficking recognition training for employees of lodging establishments, restaurants, and truck stops.

Illinois SB1422 requires employers in lodging establishments, restaurants, and truck stops to provide employees with training on recognizing human trafficking and reporting it to authorities. Employees must complete this training within six months of employment and every two years thereafter. The training must cover definitions of human trafficking, identifying at-risk individuals, differences between labor and sex trafficking, and the role of employees in reporting. The Department of Human Services will develop a curriculum for employers that do not have their own training programs.
