6 Human trafficking prevention; information.   A commercial driver's license issued or renewed by the Secretary of State must be accompanied by information that outlines how to recognize human trafficking and how to report human trafficking and includes a telephone number for a national human trafficking hotline.

SUMMARY

This amendment strikes the requirement in the bill that an applicant for a new commercial driver's license complete a nationally recognized training program on preventing human trafficking in the trucking industry. It retains the provision in the bill that requires that all new and renewed commercial driver’s licenses be accompanied by information that outlines how to recognize human trafficking and how to report human trafficking and includes a telephone number for a national human trafficking hotline.
