BOSTON (AP) A handful of Massachusetts lawmakers are hoping to create a new front line of defense against sex trafficking by training hotel workers to recognize signs of exploitation.
The bill, which was heard Wednesday before the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee, would require hotels to develop a “human trafficking recognition program.”
Rep. Tom Walsh, one of those sponsoring the bill, said hotel workers could play a critical role on the front lines of battling sex trafficking, which can often occur in hotels.
Walsh said he filed the bill after riding along with FBI agents and local police who were investigating sex trafficking cases in his district, according to the Eagle-Tribune.
