Present law requires all of the following establishments to post information regarding the

(1)Every massage parlor, spa, or hotel that has been found to be a public nuisance for
prostitution.
(2)Every strip club or other sexually oriented business.
(3)Every full-service fuel facility adjacent to an interstate highway or highway rest stop.
Present law requires that the poster read as follows: "If you or someone you know is being
forced to engage in any activity and cannot leave, whether it is commercial sex, housework,
farm work, or any other activity, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center
hotline at 1-888-373-7888 to access help and services."
