The bill would amend various codes as they relate to the offenses of compelling prostitution and trafficking of persons. Under the provisions of the bill, compelling the prostitution of a person with a disability would be punishable as a first degree felony, and trafficking a person with a disability, or engaging in certain sexual conduct with a trafficked person, would be punishable as a first or second degree felony, with the specific punishment based on the circumstances of the offense. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
