Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Hotel training and liability shield

Hotels and similar lodging may give approved human trafficking training to employees. Owners and operators may set reporting steps and a prevention policy. They may report suspected trafficking to the Nebraska hotline or local police. If they put the approved training and policies in place, the law limits lawsuits for third-party trafficking at the hotel. This protection does not cover anyone who helps traffickers or acts unreasonably. For these rules, hotel includes hotels, motels, inns, tourist homes, campgrounds, lodging houses, and state or nonprofit hotels. It excludes hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care, and student dorms.

State task force and justice training

The law creates a state task force to study human trafficking. It reports to the Legislature every July 1 and December 1 until July 1, 2026. Law enforcement, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and juvenile detention staff must receive trafficking training. The task force works with those agencies to set the curriculum before July 1, 2026. Training covers state and federal law, finding victims, prosecuting traffickers, working with nonprofits, and victim-centered care.

Trafficking help posters at public venues

The Department of Labor creates or selects human trafficking posters in English, Spanish, and other needed languages. Posters list a free help number, preferably 888-373-7888. Posters must be placed at rest stops, strip clubs, casinos, hotels, and similar lodging. The department works with businesses and nonprofits to add posters in other spots and coordinates with the task force before July 1, 2026. The department can make rules to enforce these steps.
