Relating to changing the eligibility for release on parole of certain inmates serving sentences for trafficking offenses involving child victims and disabled individuals.

Contracts

• Vendor Agreements (Staffing & Security): Review Master Services Agreements (MSAs) with labor brokers and security firms.
• Termination Clauses: Amend "Termination for Cause" provisions to trigger immediately if a vendor or their employee is *charged* with a Penal Code Chapter 20A offense. Given the "no parole" severity, you cannot afford to wait for a conviction to sever ties.
• Indemnification: Ensure indemnification clauses cover costs associated with criminal investigations, not just civil liability.

Hiring/Training

• Mandatory Training Updates: Update human trafficking awareness modules (specifically for hospitality and healthcare). You must explicitly inform staff that the penalty for facilitating these crimes is now life without parole. This severity is a critical deterrent that must be communicated to employees.
• Healthcare Vetting: Facilities housing disabled adults must enhance background checks and visitor monitoring, as the statute specifically elevates the protection of "disabled individuals" to the highest criminal tier.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Internal Incident Logs: No new government filings are required. However, you must maintain rigorous internal records of vendor due diligence. In the event of a trafficking investigation on your premises, your documented vetting process is your primary defense against reputational contagion.

Fees & Costs

• No Direct Fees: The bill imposes no new regulatory fees on businesses.
• Insurance Impact: Expect heightened scrutiny from carriers regarding General Liability and D&O policies for businesses in high-risk sectors (hotels, trucking) during renewal periods.
