Singleton Unveils New Legislative Package To Enlist Truckers In The Fight Against Human Trafficking & Crackdown On Enablers
Assemblyman Troy Singleton will introduce a new legislative package on Thursday to enhance New Jersey's human trafficking laws by cracking down on enablers and partnering with the trucking industry to report signs of trafficking.
"These bills are modeled after similar laws in Pennsylvania and Ohio that are proving effective because they employ common sense approaches to the problem," said Singleton (D-Burlington). "The first bill targets enablers by cracking down on those who turn a blind eye to this horrific industry because they stand to profit. The other bill will enlist the help of those who are often frontline witnesses to human trafficking, whether they realize it or not."
