SENATE LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. 81
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: FEBRUARY 23, 2023
The Senate Law and Public Safety Committee reports favorably
Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 81.
As reported by the committee, this concurrent resolution directs the
State Commission on Investigation to examine human trafficking
activity at the places of business of persons who employ massage and
bodywork therapists.
This concurrent resolution calls for the State Commission on
Investigation to issue a report summarizing its investigation no later
than two years after the resolution takes effect. The report may be
delayed at the request of the Attorney General for up to an additional
120 days pursuant to section 7 of P.L.1996, c.44 (C.52:9M-8.1), due to
information or evidence contained in the report showing a reasonable
possibility of human trafficking or other criminal wrongdoing. The
report would also include recommendations for consideration by the
Governor and Legislature for further addressing human trafficking
activity within these places of business.
As reported by the committee, Assembly Concurrent Resolution
No. 81 is identical to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 138, which
also was reported by the committee on this date.
