Law modifies reporting requirements for biennial report on child sex trafficking prevention

A 2013 law established a director for child sex trafficking prevention within the Department of Health and required the director to submit an evaluation of the statewide program for Safe Harbor for sexually exploited youth to the commissioner every two years.

This law requires the director to also submit the evaluation to the chairs and ranking minority members of the Senate and House of Representatives committees with jurisdiction over health and public safety by Sept. 1 of each odd-numbered year.

Rep. Aaron Repinski (R-Winona) and Sen. Paul Utke (R-Park Rapids) sponsor the law that takes effective Aug. 1, 2025.
