Section 483-CC. Confirmation as a victim of human trafficking

(a) As soon
  as practicable after a first encounter  with  a  person  who  reasonably
  appears  to  a law enforcement agency or a district attorney's office to
  be a human trafficking victim, that agency or office  shall  notify  the
  office  of  temporary  and  disability  assistance  and  the division of
  criminal justice services that such person may be eligible for  services
  under this article.
    (b)  Upon  receipt  of  such  a notification, the division of criminal
  justice services, in consultation  with  the  office  of  temporary  and
  disability  assistance  and the referring agency or office, shall make a
  preliminary assessment of whether such victim or possible victim appears
  to meet the criteria for certification as a victim of a severe  form  of
  trafficking  in  persons  as  defined in section 7105 of title 22 of the
  United States Code (Trafficking Victims Protection)  or  appears  to  be
  otherwise  eligible  for  any  federal,  state  or  local  benefits  and
  services. If it is determined that  the  victim  appears  to  meet  such
  criteria, the office of temporary and disability assistance shall report
  the  finding  to the victim, and to the referring law enforcement agency
  or district attorney's office, and may assist that agency or  office  in
  having  such victim receive services from a case management provider who
  may be under contract  with  the  office  of  temporary  and  disability
  assistance,  or  from  any  other  available  source.  If  the victim or
  possible victim is under the age of eighteen, the  office  of  temporary
  and  disability  assistance  also  shall  notify the local department of
  social services in the county where the child was found.
