Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act of 2026
Refreshed 46 min ago
Introduced 2026-01-22Topic: public safety · labor · criminal justiceSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a Blue Campaign Certification Program within one year. Private employers in industries the Secretary identifies as having higher rates of human trafficking could apply each year to be recognized for having employees complete training on recognizing and responding to suspected human trafficking. Approved employers would receive a certificate they may display for one year and would be listed in the Federal Register. The bill would allow the Secretary to charge application fees to cover program costs, prohibit employers from displaying the certificate in a way that falsely suggests they earned it, and require yearly reports to Congress on the program.
