BILL NUMBER: S3374

SPONSOR: BAILEY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
promoting the education of the human trafficking information and refer-
ral hotlines to assist individuals from becoming or freeing themselves
from any act of severe forms of sex trafficking

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to require the posting of the federal human
trafficking referral hotline information at all establishment selling
alcohol beverages.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 establishes the legislative findings that presently, there is
no law requiring wine and beer establishments to post a notification
regarding the offense of human trafficking.

Section 2 amends the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new
section, 65-e, which would require the NYS Liquor Authority to prepare,
print and distribute across the state to all adult entertainment estab-
lishments, including any person, corporation, or other business estab-
lishment with a license to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on
the premises, a sign or poster with conspicuous lettering that states
the following:

a. "Notice on Human Trafficking: Obtaining forced labor or service is a
crime under the federal government. If you or someone you know is a
victim of human trafficking, you are encouraged either to call the
National Human Trafficking Resource Center toll free number at
1-888-373-7888 or to get immediate help call the Trafficking in Persons
and Worker Exploitation Task Force Complaint line at 1888-428-7581. You
may remain anonymous.

b. (i) The sign must he at least 8 1/2 inches high and 11 inches wide.
The English notice must cover approximately two-thirds of the sign, and
Spanish and any other language that the authority deems necessary to
display the notice should cover one-third of the sign.

(ii) If the National Human Trafficking Resource center toll free number
or the Trafficking in Persons and Worker Exploitation Task Force
complaint line number changes, the authority is required to reissue the
sign or poster within thirty days to any person, corporation, or other
business establishment with a license to sell alcoholic beverages for
consumption on the premises, including adult entertainment establish-
ments.

c. Any person, corporation, or other business establishment with a
license to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises,
including adult entertainment establishments, shall display in an
upright position and in a conspicuous place where it can be easily read
by clientele and employees of the establishment, the sign or poster upon
receiving it from the authority.

Section 3 is the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:

Presently, there is no state law requiring wine and beer establishments,
including adult entertainment establishments, to post a human traffick-
ing notification sign. About eighty percent of trafficking victims are
often forced into the sex-slave trade industry. Furthermore, outreach
services are widely unknown to victims of trafficking. According to the
United States Department of Justice, forty-eight percent of the human
trafficking matters opened by federal attorneys were in federal judicial
districts in four states: California (17%), Florida (14%-), Texas (99e),
and New York (8%). in many of these cases, women and men are forced to
be hosts or servers in establishments that serve alcohol in bars or
entertainment clubs. Of the 555 human. trafficking suspects in matters
opened by United States attorneys between 2001 through 2005, fifty-eight
percent were investigated for offenses and twenty-four percent were
forced labor violations under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection
Act.

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. For the past several years, the toll-
 free telephone number of the National Human Trafficking hotline has been
 posted  on  a  New  York  state agency website and those locations where
 victims may be present, including adult or sexually-oriented businesses,
 have been encouraged to voluntarily  display  information  posters.  The
 Hotline's 2019 data report shows that bars and strip clubs remain one of
 the  top three locations where sex and labor trafficking occurs. Most of
 these trafficking victims are young women, the majority of  whom  arrive
 from  other  countries.  In order to combat this scourge, numerous other
 states have now made it a requirement for alcoholic  beverage  licensees
 that operate sexually-oriented establishments to post information on how
 to  call,  text or otherwise contact the hotline. This bill will enhance
 New York state's efforts to fight sex and labor trafficking.
   § 2. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended  by  adding  a  new
 section 65-e to read as follows:
   §  65-E.  POSTING  OF  SIGNS  RELATING  TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING.   1. THE

 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  alcoholic  beverage control law, in relation to
   promoting the education  of  the  human  trafficking  information  and
   referral hotlines to assist individuals from becoming or freeing them-
   selves from any act of severe forms of sex trafficking
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. For the past several years, the toll-
 free telephone number of the National Human Trafficking hotline has been
 posted on a New York state agency  website  and  those  locations  where
 victims may be present, including adult or sexually-oriented businesses,
 have  been  encouraged  to  voluntarily display information posters. The
 Hotline's 2019 data report shows that bars and strip clubs remain one of
 the top three locations where sex and labor trafficking occurs. Most  of
 these  trafficking  victims are young women, the majority of whom arrive
 from other countries. In order to combat this  scourge,  numerous  other
 states  have  now made it a requirement for alcoholic beverage licensees
 that operate sexually-oriented establishments to post information on how
 to call, text or otherwise contact the hotline. This bill  will  enhance
 New York state's efforts to fight sex and labor trafficking.
   §  2.  The  alcoholic  beverage control law is amended by adding a new
 section 65-e to read as follows:
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD06819-09-2
