An act relating to prostitution
This bill removes penalties for individuals who engage in prostitution at specific locations, such as places, buildings, or vehicles, while keeping other prostitution-related offenses intact. It directly affects people involved in or facilitating prostitution by eliminating charges related to the location where activities occur, but retains laws against soliciting, procuring, aiding, or abetting prostitution. The key change is that the act no longer criminalizes the location itself, but continues to prohibit activities like directing or transporting people for prostitution purposes. Penalties for remaining violations include fines up to $100 or imprisonment for up to one year for first offenses, and up to three years for repeat offenses.
