The New Jersey State Bar Association supports S-1211 (Singleton)/A-1222 (Pintor Marin), which provides for civil actions against persons or entities profiting from commission of human trafficking offenses or maintaining victims of such offenses.
The Association supports this proposed legislation because it expands current statute to allow for civil recourse against those who knowingly profit from human trafficking offenses. This is an important measure that will help ensure that the scope of beneficiaries of human trafficking are held responsible for their actions.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports S-1211/A-1222 and urges you to vote yes to this proposed legislation.
