House Bill 2033, directing the Department of Criminal Justice Services to develop an online course to help certain licensees recognize and report human trafficking, was reported unanimously by the House Committee on Public Safety.
The House Committee on Public Safety reported House Bill 2033 to the House after the Public Safety Subcommittee recommended the measure unanimously.
