Purpose / Intent

HB 5025 updates section 3 of the Human Trafficking Notification Act (2016 PA 62) to expand the locations and entities required to post human trafficking notices, aiming to increase public awareness and resources for victims at additional transportation and commercial sites.

Key provisions

  • Requires the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to post human trafficking notices on the premises of each state rest stop and welcome facility as described in the act (retains existing MDOT duty).
  • Expands posting requirements to additional entities and locations; those entities “shall post” notices on their premises as required by MDOT:
    • Local units of government that operate rest stops or welcome facilities.
    • Local units of government or lawful authorities that provide public bus or rail transportation — specifically at stations that provide those services.
    • Entities that own property that has been judicially found to be a public nuisance because of prostitution, commercial sexual activity, or human trafficking arising from the property’s ownership or use.
    • Adult entertainment establishments.
    • Public airports.
  • Maintains that notices are to be posted “in the manner described in this act and as required by the department under this act.”

Who is affected

  • State agency: Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) — continues oversight of notice content and posting requirements.
  • Local governments and transit authorities operating rest stops, welcome centers, bus and rail stations.
  • Owners/operators of adult entertainment establishments and public airports.
  • Property owners with properties declared public nuisances by courts due to prostitution/commercial sexual activity or human trafficking.
  • General public and potential victims who may access posted information and resources.

Effective date and procedural notes

  • If enacted, the amendatory act takes effect 90 days after the date of enactment.
  • The act expressly will not take effect unless HB 5016 is enacted into law (tie-bar condition).

Potential impacts

  • Broadens locations where human trafficking information must be available, potentially improving victim identification and access to help.
  • Imposes additional posting/compliance responsibilities on local governments, transit authorities, airports, adult entertainment businesses, and certain property owners; the bill does not specify funding or penalties for noncompliance.
  • Implementation will require coordination between MDOT and newly covered entities to establish posting standards and timelines.
