AB 1541: Human trafficking: data.
What AB 1541 does, verified August 15, 2026
The bill aims to amend the Penal Code to improve data collection and reporting on human trafficking cases. It would require local law enforcement agencies to collect and report additional data, including the number of individuals arrested, convicted, and victims of human trafficking. The collected data would be made available on the Department of Justice's OpenJustice web portal, providing a more comprehensive view of human trafficking cases in California. Reimbursement for the costs associated with implementing this bill would be made available to local agencies and school districts if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains mandated costs.
