Massachusetts S983 aims to strengthen justice and support for sex trade survivors.
Massachusetts S983 amends the state's General Laws to redefine and address prostitution and related offenses. It replaces the term "prostitute" with "prostituted person" and mandates expungement of criminal records for those who were victims of prostitution or sex trafficking. The bill also creates a special commission to develop recommendations for preventing, identifying, and responding to prostitution. Additionally, it allocates funds from violations related to soliciting for a prostituted person to the Victims of Human Trafficking Trust Fund.
