The proposed 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.

The commission is required to convene its first meeting within 90 days of the bill's effective date and must submit a report with its findings and recommendations, including any legislative proposals, to the relevant legislative bodies by December 31, 2026. This initiative aims to explore alternatives to the current criminalization of sex work, focusing on public health and safety, while also considering the needs and rights of sex workers.
