SB 1018: Human trafficking: specialized license plates.
The bill aims to combat human trafficking by creating a specialized license plate program. It would allow the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) to apply to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to sponsor a human trafficking awareness license plate program. The revenue generated from these license plates would be used to fund the OES's Survivors of Human Trafficking Grant Program, which would provide grants to community-based organizations that provide direct services to vulnerable individuals affected by human trafficking. The OES would be required to submit an annual report to the legislature detailing the program's progress and outcomes.
