S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8421 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y October 9, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ORTIZ, RIVERA, BENEDETTO, JAFFEE, COOK, ROBINSON, CLARK, HOOPER, COLTON -- read once and referred to the Committee on Labor AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to protecting persons includ- ing those employed at adult entertainment establishments from becoming victims of severe forms of human trafficking THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "dance performer registration act". S 2. Legislative findings. Although there are believed to be tens or even hundreds of thousands of trafficking victims in the United States, less than one out of a thousand have been identified since human traf- ficking was made a federal crime in 2000. Therefore, there is an immedi- ate need to end human trafficking in the United States by identifying victims and monitoring places that are suspected of participating in severe forms of trafficking. Victims of sex trafficking may work at places where commercial sexual exploitation occurs. The purpose of this act is to ensure and prevent dance performers from becoming victims of involuntary servitude or prostitution. S 3. The labor law is amended by adding a new article 4-B to read as follows: ARTICLE 4-B DANCE PERFORMER REGISTRATION SECTION 156. DEFINITIONS. 157. DANCE PERFORMER PERMIT. 158. DANCE PERFORMER PERMIT REGISTRY. 159. PENALTIES. S 156. DEFINITIONS. WHEREVER USED IN THIS ARTICLE: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04088-01-5
