TIER II OFFENSE; SOLICIT PROSTITUTION S.B. 602 (S-1):
SUMMARY OF BILL
REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE
Senate Bill 602 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Committee: Families, Seniors and Human Services
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Sex Offenders Registration Act to include a violation of Section 449a(2) of the Penal Code as a tier II offense.
Currently, Section 449a specifies, "Any male person who engages or offers to engage the services of a female person, not his wife, for the purpose of prostitution, lewdness or assignation, by the payment in money or other forms of consideration, is guilty of a misdemeanor." As proposed by Senate Bill 205 (S-2) subsection 2 would make it a felony for a person to engage or offer to engage another person, who was under the age of 18 and who was not the person's spouse, for the purposes of prostitution by payment in money or other forms of consideration.
Under Senate Bill 602 (S-1), the proposed felony would be considered a tier II offense. (A tier II offender is required to comply with the Act's registration and proof of residency requirements for 25 years.)
