June 12, 2007Child-prostitution measure advances
A bill that would toughen penalties on people who push children into prostitution moved forward Monday after being stalled for the past 2 1/2 months.The House of Representatives approved the bill on a voice vote, moving it toward a final vote. It joins another bill that has the same aim, raising the question of which bill will prevail.
Monday's action gives the green light to Senate Bill 1268, which increases the penalty for anyone who tries to entice a person under 18 years old into prostitution. The penalty would be a Class 2 felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
