AI Summary
This bill amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 by updating language related to prostitution and replacing potentially stigmatizing terminology with more neutral, descriptive language. Specifically, the bill replaces the terms "prostitute" and "prostitution" with "persons who provide or offer to provide commercial sexual activity" and "commercial sexual activity" respectively throughout Section 3801, which describes nuisance conditions for buildings, vehicles, boats, aircraft, or places. The bill maintains the existing legal framework for defining nuisances, which include locations used for lewdness, gambling, illegal drug activities, and other prohibited conduct, but updates the language to be less pejorative. Additionally, the bill makes minor grammatical changes, such as replacing "shall" with "must" in subsection (3). The bill will take effect 90 days after enactment and is tied to the passage of House Bill 5016, meaning it will only become law if that companion bill is also enacted.
