AI Summary
This bill, the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act (also known as the SESTA/FOSTA Examination of Secondary Effects for Sex Workers Study Act), directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on the unintended impacts on the health and safety of people engaged in consensual, transactional sex, in connection with the passage of the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 (SESTA/FOSTA) and the resulting loss of interactive computer services that previously hosted information related to sexual exchange. The study will examine changes in access to technology-based harm reduction services, ability to negotiate with clients, experiences of violence, interactions with law enforcement, contact with third parties, access to economic resources, housing stability, mental health, and vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, among other impacts, with a focus on disparities affecting underserved populations.
