Overview
The Little Hoover Commission will examine the implementation status of its previous reports on two topics -- the state's response to intimate partner violence and to human trafficking for purposes of labor exploitation. The hearing will examine the degree to which the Commission's past recommendations have been implemented, and any changes in the status of the two issues that have increased the importance of the Commission's recommendations. The Commission released three reports on labor trafficking in 2020, and two reports on intimate partner violence in 2020 and 2021.
