DOVER—Legislation filed by Sen. Bryant Richardson, R-Seaford, last week would require additional state facilities to display public awareness signs about human trafficking.

The bill, also known as Senate Bill 43, currently has bipartisan support from members of Delaware’s House of Representatives and Senate.

Under the legislation, human trafficking public awareness signs must be included at state service centers; wellness centers; residential child care facilities; transitional and independent living service providers for youth aging out of foster care; shelters for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault or individuals experiencing homelessness or food insecurity; hotels; convenience stores along a major highway; gas stations along a major highway; casinos; restaurants with liquor licenses; poultry processing plants; bus or train stations; bars; massage establishments; and shopping malls.
