LEGISLATION AND LOBBYING:
Meets Third Friday of Each Month, 1-3PM, Columbus Public Health, 240 Parsons Ave., Rm. 119B
This committee is unique to the Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition. It developed out of the interest of CORRC members and the recognized need for state legislation on human trafficking in Ohio. Committee members have been instrumental in lobbying for language and penalities in several bills introduced inthe past year.
This committee continues to identify areas for improvement to help Ohio get up to speed with the rest of the nation in trafficking legislation. The committee tracks and maintains up to date information on all local and national Human Trafficking laws.
This committee is currently chaired by Theresa Flores and Tabitha Woodruff. To become involved in the commitee and for more information on meeting times and current projects, contact committee chairs Theresa Flores at tflores@traffickfree.com or Tabitha Woodruff at woodruff.115@buckeyemail.osu.edu.
