Procuring prostitution; make first offense a felony, require impoundment of vehicle used in commission of offense.

SB 2231 reclassifies the first offense of procuring prostitution (arranging or paying for sex) as a felony, increasing penalties to up to two years in prison or a $5,000 fine, compared to previous misdemeanor penalties. It requires law enforcement to impound any vehicle used in the commission of the offense, with the arrested person responsible for all impoundment costs regardless of income. The bill also significantly increases penalties for offenses involving minors under 18, imposing mandatory prison terms of 5-30 years or fines up to $500,000. These changes apply to individuals and entities (like businesses) that facilitate prostitution, with no defense for minor consent.
