A public hearing will be conducted from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. May 9, 2022, in Memorial Hall Auditorium, 120 SW 10th Ave., 2nd Floor, Topeka, Kansas, to consider the adoption of a proposed regulation, K.A.R. 16-21-1, of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), on a permanent basis.

This 60-day notice of the public hearing shall constitute a public comment period for the purpose of receiving written public comments on the proposed regulation. All interested parties may submit written comments prior to the hearing to Sarah Shipman, Office of the Kansas Attorney General, 120 SW 10th Ave., 2nd Floor, Topeka, KS 66612 or by email to sarah.shipman@ag.ks.gov.

Any individual with a disability may request an accommodation in order to participate in the public hearing and may request the proposed regulation and economic impact statement in an accessible format. Requests for accommodation to participate in the hearing should be made at least five working days in advance of the hearing by contacting Sarah Shipman at 785-368-8401 (or TYY 1-800-766-3777).

A summary of the proposed regulation and its economic impact follow. A copy of the proposed regulation and the Economic Impact Statement for the proposed regulation can be viewed at https://www.ag.ks.gov/regulation-hearings.

K.A.R. 16-21-1. The regulation provides the specifications for required Anti-Human Trafficking Notices. The anti-trafficking notices are part of a coordinated statewide effort to raise awareness to the public and those affected by human trafficking regarding the resources available to provide assistance. The information on the anti-trafficking notices provide the public and potential victims with the number to the national human trafficking hotline, as one way to get connected to law enforcement or victim services.

Economic Impact. Notices meeting the requirement will be available free of charge from the Office of the Attorney General, so there is no implementation cost unless an employer chooses to design and/or print notices. Businesses will be able to receive actual paper copies or print their own notices from the OAG website. Therefore, the regulation is expected to have no or negligible economic impact.
