Such safe house, in accordance with a 14 service plan for such human trafficking victim, shall also provide coun- 15 seling and therapeutic services, educational services including life 16 skills services, job training and placement and planning services to 17 successfully transition such person back into the community. 18 § 3. Subdivisions (a) and (b) of section 483-bb of the social services 19 law, as added by chapter 74 of the laws of 2007, are amended to read as 20 follows: 21 (a) The office of temporary and disability assistance [may] shall 22 coordinate with and assist law enforcement agencies and district attor- 23 ney's offices to access appropriate services for human trafficking 24 victims. 25 (b) [In providing such assistance, the] The office of temporary and 26 disability assistance may enter into contracts with non-government 27 organizations for providing services to [pre-certified] victims of human 28 trafficking as defined in subdivision [(b)] (a) of section four hundred 29 eighty-three-aa of this article, [insofar as funds are available for30that purpose] subject to available funds.

Unless, after receiving such advice, the 8 apparent victim expresses that he or she does not wish the presence of a 9 representative of such an established provider of social or legal 10 services, the law enforcement agency or district attorney's office shall 11 contact the appropriate provider and request that a representative be 12 provided. If the apparent victim does not wish the presence of such a 13 representative, that expression by the apparent victim shall be docu- 14 mented by the agency or office official in writing or other recorded 15 form. Nothing in this subdivision shall affect any obligation such law 16 enforcement agency or district attorney's office may have to provide any 17 information or assistance to such person. 18 § 5.
