TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Leon County commissioners will discuss adopting an ordinance that would require adult entertainment and massage/bodywork establishments to post human trafficking public awareness signs at their Tuesday meeting.
The sign would say the following in English, Spanish and Creole:
"If you or someone you know is being forced to engage in an activity and cannot leave -- whether it is prostitution, housework, farm work, factory work, retail work, restaurant work, or any other activity -- call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-373-7888 or text INFO or HELP to 233-733 to access help and services. Victims of slavery and human trafficking are protected under United States and Florida Law."
If passed, the business could be fined if the signs are not posted.
