Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Justice, in consultation with the Technical
College System Board, the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and the
Cosmetology Examining Board, to identify and establish industry specific materials
for use in providing instruction to students in schools of barbering, schools of
cosmetology, and specialty schools in the recognition and reporting of human
trafficking. Specialty schools are establishments that offer instruction in aesthetics,
electrology, or manicuring. Further, under the bill, DSPS and the Cosmetology
Examining Board must require that schools of barbering, schools of cosmetology, and
specialty schools provide instruction on the dynamics of exploitation including
vulnerabilities that put people at risk of being trafficked and how to recognize and
report suspected human trafficking as identified by DOJ under the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
