HB 2720 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

prostitution; assessment; anti-human trafficking fund

HB 2720 requires courts to collect a $200 mandatory assessment from individuals convicted of paying for sex (a specific violation under Arizona law), which cannot be waived. The funds from these assessments flow directly into Arizona’s Anti-Human Trafficking Grant Fund, established under Section 41-1736. This fund provides money to support programs that assist trafficking victims, aid law enforcement in combating trafficking, and offer public training on identifying trafficking. The bill does not change prostitution penalties but links fines from specific prostitution-related convictions to anti-trafficking initiatives.
