IDEA: Every massage parlor & spa should be legally required to place informational posters for human trafficking/abuse abatement on the doors of their private rooms and restrooms - like hotel room info placards - in multiple languages, with contact info for local LE/help hotline.

Signs should include phonetic approximations in native languages for how to ask for help and how to report current location/address. This can easily be generated for individual businesses from a central web service.

Signs should also include phrases for clients to use.

This should include any business where an employee is required to engage in physical contact with a client, as well as in hotel rooms and any facility in violation of this should be considered in violation of health and safety regulations, management should be criminally liable.

And absence of signage should result in a full investigation into all employees of the property.

There's more than this, but the Illinois and California legislation seems to be a good start.

Looks like Florida does have a statute that starts to address this.

But not posting those signs only gets a fine.
It should most certainly be available in more than English and Spanish.
Good job, @AGPamBondi

And there are some templates here that can be used as a visually appealing starting point.

Ideally, making this part of a federal statute for uniformity would be ideal, and easier to amend for new locations where posters may be required... I'd love to see someone with experience countering trafficking like @amyklobuchar or @KamalaHarris sponsor this...

along with some of the house noobs, like @LaurenUnderwood and/or @RepKatieHill. It's time to make your house a powerhouse, ladies 😉

And again, this is the twitterized version, so I'd be happy to elaborate offline. I even have some ideas for how to take away the ability of any 'employers' to interfere with allowing access to communications.
