Massachusetts H1683 aims to strengthen justice and support for sex trade survivors.

Massachusetts H1683 amends the state's General Laws to redefine "prostituted person" and establish a special commission to review and develop recommendations for preventing, identifying, and responding to prostitution. The bill includes provisions for expunging criminal records of those convicted of prostitution-related offenses if they were victims of human trafficking or trafficking in persons.
