The House Committee on Public Safety reported House Bill 2033 to the House after the Public Safety Subcommittee recommended the measure unanimously.

Delegate Simons told the committee the bill "directs DCJS to develop an online course for veil licensees and their employees" to recognize and report instances of human trafficking. The subcommittee recommended reporting 6-0; the full committee voted 20-0 to report the bill to the House.

No substitute or public opposition was recorded in the session. The bill, as described by the patron, would create an online training posted by the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) for licensees and staff who may encounter trafficking in the course of their work.
