“WARNING.  Obtaining forced labor or services is a crime under Massachusetts law.  If you or someone you know is being forced to engage in any activity and cannot leave – whether it is commercial sex, housework, farm work or any other activity – call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888.  You can remain anonymous, and the Hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Such notice shall be provided in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Portuguese, and any other language as recommended by the office of planning and programming, whereby the English notice must cover at least one-half of the sign, to display in all state highway and mass transit facilities and vehicles that are open to the public, including restrooms, in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public and employees.
