Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB647 amends prostitution and related offenses, grading certain offenses as felonies and allowing resentencing for specific prior.

Pennsylvania SB647 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to adjust the grading of prostitution and related offenses. It classifies certain offenses as felonies of the third degree, particularly when the actor compels another to engage in prostitution or promotes prostitution involving a spouse, child, ward, or person for whose care they are responsible. The bill also allows for resentencing to a misdemeanor for individuals convicted under prior subsections if they have completed their original sentence and are not serving another sentence or under supervision.
