The bill establishes an Interagency Commission to study the decriminalization of sex work in the Commonwealth, which will be added as Section 53C to Chapter 272 of the General Laws. The commission will consist of 23 members, including various state officials and representatives from organizations focused on sex worker advocacy, racial justice, and harm reduction, among others. The commission is tasked with examining the criminal penalties associated with sex work, necessary labor protections, health and safety services for individuals engaged in commercial sex, and strategies to combat human trafficking. It will also explore alternative safety models that do not rely on policing and propose a fund aimed at supporting the health and autonomy of sex workers.

The commission is required to convene its first meeting within 90 days of the bill's effective date and must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations, including any legislative proposals, to the relevant legislative bodies by December 31, 2026. This initiative aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications of decriminalizing sex work and to develop informed strategies for improving the welfare of those involved in the commercial sex industry.
