Beginning 60 days after enactment, Pennsylvania updates its child-protection definition of sexual abuse or exploitation. The listed offense changes from prostitution to promoting prostitution. This applies to child-protection decisions involving an offense committed against a child.
Beginning 60 days after enactment, Pennsylvania limits this prostitution offense to adults. It covers sexual activity as a business and loitering in or within view of a public place to be hired for sex. The law removes higher offense grades for repeat offenses and the felony grade for knowingly engaging while HIV-positive or having AIDS.
Beginning 60 days after enactment, Pennsylvania includes promoting prostitution in its sexual-offense definition for professional licensing reviews. This affects applicants and license holders whose convictions are considered. The law replaces the former references to offenses under sections 5902(b) and 5902(b.1) with section 3027.
Beginning 60 days after enactment, Pennsylvania updates sex-offense rules to cover promoting prostitution. Offenses under section 3027(b), including attempts, conspiracies, and solicitation to commit them, receive Tier II sexual-offense status. Any felony under section 3027 counts as a felony sex offense for DNA data and testing. For people paroled by other states, the law replaces the listed prostitution offense with promoting prostitution. That parole rule applies only when the offense is a felony and involves a minor victim.
