Bill Summary
For legislation to stop profiling transgender people and low-income women. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to stop profiling of transgender people and low-income women. It does this by removing language from existing state law that refers to "common night walkers" and "common street walkers", which could be used to target these groups. Additionally, the bill provides legal protections for individuals who in good faith report a crime, by exempting them from being charged or prosecuted for certain offenses related to drug possession or sex work if the evidence for those offenses was obtained as a result of reporting the crime.
