Pennsylvania HB632 amends prostitution and related offenses, grading them as felonies or misdemeanors based on specific circumstances.

Pennsylvania HB632 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to adjust the grading of prostitution and related offenses. An offense is a felony of the third degree if it involves compelling another to engage in prostitution, promoting prostitution of a spouse, child, ward, or person under the actor's care, or if the actor knowingly promoted prostitution of someone who is HIV positive or has AIDS. Otherwise, the offense is a misdemeanor of the second degree. The bill also allows for resentencing of certain individuals who were previously convicted under specific subsections.
