What AR 78 does, verified August 20, 2026

This bill aims to increase awareness about the impact of human trafficking and modern-day slavery on California communities. It requires the California Department of Human Services to develop a statewide awareness campaign, which would include public education and outreach efforts, to inform residents about the signs of human trafficking and how to report suspicious activity. The bill also establishes a task force to coordinate efforts among state agencies, local law enforcement, and community organizations to combat human trafficking. Additionally, the bill requires the state to provide training and resources for law enforcement officials and other stakeholders to recognize and respond to human trafficking cases.
