Tattoo parlors must post signs about human trafficking

The Department must require tattoo parlors to post a visible sign raising awareness about human trafficking. The sign must be in the parlor's window or an equivalent location. This requirement takes effect one year after enactment into law, on October 2, 2027, based on the supplied September 14, 2026 signing date.

The Department must give or make available a list of nonprofit organizations offering human trafficking training, and encourage establishments to have workers take it. The list is for tattoo parlors and body piercing establishments. Training covers recognizing and responding to trafficking signs, referring clients to victim resources, and reporting signs to the National Human Trafficking Hotline and local law enforcement. Workers who complete training must receive a certificate. Training must be free to any individual working at a covered establishment. Training must be provided by a nonprofit approved by the Secretary in coordination with the Delaware Anti-Trafficking Action Council. The Department is required to encourage training; the text does not require workers to complete it. These requirements take effect one year after enactment into law, on October 2, 2027, based on the supplied September 14, 2026 signing date.
