MODERATE
This bill version adds a second sponsor and updates the legislative history to reflect committee approval. The most significant substantive change is a modification to the new 'predatory sex trafficking' crime, which now requires a prior conviction for the offense to apply, whereas the previous version did not include this prerequisite.
Scope change
The scope of the new 'predatory sex trafficking' charge was narrowed to apply only to individuals who have previously been convicted of sex trafficking or sex trafficking of a vulnerable person.
ELIGIBILITY
The definition of 'predatory sex trafficking' was updated to require a previous conviction of sex trafficking or sex trafficking of a child or vulnerable person as a condition for the charge.
TECHNICAL
A second sponsor, Senator Gallivan, was added to the list of bill introducers.
The legislative history was updated to include favorable committee reports and orders for second reading.
The bill number was updated from S 6460--A to S 6460--B to reflect the new version.
