A bill raising fines on businesses who fail to post human trafficking information became Georgia law earlier today.
Following a meeting of the Georgians for Refuge, Action, Compassion, and Education Commission (GRACE), Gov. Brian Kemp signed SB 42 into law. The bill increases fines on businesses who neglect to post the human trafficking hotline in their place of operation and online from under $500 to $500-$1000. Subsequent fines are increased from a maximum of $1000 to $1,000-$5,000.
Kemp thanked the GRACE Commission, led by First Lady Marty Kemp, for their efforts against human trafficking in Georgia.
