In 2020, she was appointed to the Louisiana Survivor Advisory Council within the Governor’s Office of Human Trafficking Prevention to provide input on state-wide training materials, public messaging and awareness, and toolkits. In 2020, Governor Edwards awarded Ms. Johnson recognition for her unyielding courage, exemplary commitment to excellence, and dedicated service in investigating a human trafficking operation in North Louisiana.

As a result of her advocacy efforts, Senate Bill 148 passed with bipartisan support and is known as the “Michelle Johnson Act,” which provides free expungements without a waiting period to survivors of human trafficking who committed non-violent crimes while trapped in The Life.
