CRIME: Provides relative to the crime of solicitation on certain highways and streets

HB 97 modifies the state law regarding the crime of solicitation by narrowing its application to specific locations. The bill removes the phrase "or offering" from the definition of the crime, meaning the law now only addresses the act of soliciting rather than the act of offering something in exchange. Additionally, it updates the list of prohibited locations to explicitly include interstate highways, public right-of-ways, and any entrance or exit associated with them. These changes directly affect law enforcement and individuals charged with solicitation crimes by clarifying the exact scope of the offense and where it can occur.
