Title
Human trafficking, National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline notice, criminal penalties for failure to display further provided, Sec. 13A-6-170 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, the penalty for a first violation of failing to post human trafficking hotline information in certain establishments is a warning and the penalty for a subsequent violation is $25

This bill would increase the penalty for a subsequent violation to $250

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment

However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment

Relating to human trafficking; to amend Section 13A-6-170, Code of Alabama 1975, to revise the penalties for violations; to establish which agencies are responsible for enforcement; to make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style; and in connection therewith would have as its purpose or effect the requirement of a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended.
