At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.
- What: a bill from the last session (captioned SB 2697) that would have decriminalized adult commercial sexual activity.
- Where it stands: the state lobbyist said no one is currently talking about bringing it back, though activity is expected to pick up after the election.
- Committee interest: Councilmember Jackson (Vice Chair) said she keeps asking because she hears constituent complaints about solicitation along Colfax, and the police department started a human trafficking unit this year. She sees legislation as part of reducing victimization.
