Nonprofits are given legal standing in human trafficking cases in which they were involved. The office of the attorney general has the responsibility for purposes of notice and oversight. The Colorado human trafficking council is responsible for developing victim-centered and trauma-informed training. The bill creates the human trafficking prevention and aftercare services fund.
