    5         Section 1. Paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (e) of subsection
    6  (4) of section 16.617, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as
    7  paragraphs (c), (d), (e), and (f), respectively, and paragraph
    8  (b) is added to that subsection, to read:

   12         (b) Assess the frequency and extent to which social media
   13  platforms are used to assist, facilitate, or support human
   14  trafficking within the state, establish a process to detect such
   15  use on a consistent basis, and make recommendations on how to
   16  stop, reduce, or prevent social media platforms from being used
   17  for such purposes. To the extent these objectives can be
   18  achieved under existing laws, the Council must implement a
   19  system to do so without undue delay.
   20         Section 2. Paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of section
   21  16.618, Florida Statutes, is amended, and paragraph (f) is added

   29  the institute must develop training that is available ready for
   30  statewide dissemination by not later than October 1, 2019.
   31         1. Training must focus on detecting human trafficking, best
   32  practices for reporting human trafficking, and the interventions
   33  and treatment for survivors of human trafficking.

   35  with law enforcement agencies, survivors of human trafficking,
   36  industry representatives, tourism representatives, and other
   37  interested parties. The institute also must conduct research to
   38  determine the reduction in recidivism attributable to the
   39  education of the harms of human trafficking for first-time
   40  offenders.
   41         (f) The direct-support organization shall develop training
   42  for firesafety
