Authorizes majority of Commission on Human Trafficking membership to exercise powers and duties.

This bill amends the existing law to allow the Commission on Human Trafficking to exercise its powers and perform its duties when a majority of the commission’s current members are present, rather than requiring a fixed number of nine members. The commission, established in 2013, is responsible for evaluating existing law concerning human trafficking, reviewing victim assistance programs, promoting a coordinated response for victims, and developing mechanisms to promote public awareness of human trafficking.
