“In June 2015, the Florida legislature enacted a new statute (Section 787.29 Florida Statute) that requires businesses and locations throughout Florida to display public awareness signage which informs the public about human trafficking and resource assistance.
Pursuant to the newly amended City of Jacksonville Municipal Code Chapter 250.125 (enacted February 25, 2020) Human Trafficking and Employee Awareness Ordinance, certain businesses must display public awareness signs in conspicuous locations clearly visible to the public and employees, and must provide Human Trafficking Training to all employees on how to spot, report, and prevent human trafficking:
👉🏼Gas Stations

👉🏼Any business or establishment that offers massage or bodywork services
👉🏼Any business performing services for compensation that is not owned by a health care practitioner regulated pursuant to 456, Florida Statutes, as defined in Section 456.001, Florida Statutes, is required to meet the new standards.
👉🏼Public Lodging establishments
In accordance with City Ordinance 250.125, your business will receive a class "C" paying citation for each day and each separate violation of the additional requirements.”
