The bill amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 by updating the definition of what constitutes a nuisance. Specifically, it replaces the term "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" and changes "prostitutes" to "persons who provide or offer to provide commercial sexual activity." This reflects a broader understanding of activities related to sexual commerce. Additionally, the bill clarifies that all controlled substances and nuisances must be enjoined and abated, changing the language from "shall" to "must," which emphasizes the obligation to take action against such nuisances.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that all furniture, fixtures, and contents of a building, vehicle, boat, aircraft, or place deemed a nuisance are also considered nuisances themselves. It establishes that individuals who own, lease, conduct, or maintain such properties can be found guilty of a nuisance. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but it is contingent upon the enactment of House Bill No. 5016.
