Prostitution.

Existing law provides that a person who solicits or agrees to engage in or engages in any act of prostitution is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. This bill would recast these provisions to distinguish between the different individuals who are guilty of disorderly conduct by soliciting, agreeing to engage in, or engaging in, any act of prostitution based on whether the person is soliciting or agreeing to receive compensation, money, or anything of value for an act of prostitution, as specified, or the person is soliciting or agreeing to provide compensation, money, or anything of value for an act of prostitution with a minor or with an adult, as specified. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 647 of the Penal Code, proposed by SB 1129, SB 1322, and AB 1708, that would become operative only if this bill and one or more of those other bills are enacted and become effective January 1, 2017, and this bill is chaptered last.
