AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen justice and support for sex trade survivors. It introduces new definitions, including "prostituted person" and "survivor-of-prostitution-led exit programming." The bill amends existing laws to increase fines for soliciting a prostitute, with the fines being allocated to survivor-led exit programs. It also expands the crimes for which property can be forfeited, with the proceeds going to these exit programs. Additionally, the bill establishes an interagency committee to address various aspects of prostitution, including prevention, housing, employment, and treatment. Finally, the bill expands the circumstances under which a criminal record can be expunged for certain prostitution-related offenses.
