The bill amends existing laws regarding commercial sexual activity by introducing new provisions aimed at addressing prostitution and human trafficking. It establishes a "commercial sex buyers accountability program," which mandates that individuals convicted of soliciting prostitution or procuring sexual conduct for a fee must participate in an educational program focused on the implications of prostitution and human trafficking. Those found guilty will be assessed a mandatory fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000), which will be allocated to support the program and compensate law enforcement agencies involved in the arrests.

Specifically, individuals convicted under sections 11-34.1-3 (Procurement of sexual conduct for a fee) and 11-34.1-6 (Soliciting from motor vehicles for indecent purposes) will be required to participate in this program. The program will be offered by local governmental entities or approved providers and will include information on the causes of prostitution, health risks, consequences of convictions, and the impacts of human trafficking.

The bill also outlines that the one thousand dollar fee will be collected by the court and forwarded to the department of treasury to be deposited into the crime victim compensation fund, with portions allocated to the program provider and the law enforcement agency involved in the arrest. The legislation emphasizes the importance of education in combating the issues of prostitution and human trafficking, aiming to raise awareness about the associated health risks and societal impacts. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance accountability for those involved in commercial sexual activities while providing educational resources to deter future offenses.
