Bill > SB39

This bill amends the Georgia Code to increase the penalty provisions for the crimes of pimping and pandering. Specifically, it increases the punishment for a second offense of pandering from a misdemeanor to a felony with a prison term of 1 to 5 years, and a third or subsequent offense to a felony with a prison term of 1 to 10 years. It also requires registration on the State Sexual Offender Registry for individuals convicted of pandering for a second time. The bill aims to strengthen the penalties for these offenses related to the exploitation of individuals, particularly those under 16 years old.
