Would change California law on loitering to purchase commercial sex. Currently, a person can be charged if their behavior appears to show intent to buy sex. The bill would require clearer evidence by stating that a person is only guilty if they take a direct action that clearly shows an intent to purchase commercial sex, going beyond just planning or suspicious behavior. A violation would still include a $1,000 fine, which would go to the Survivor Support Fund.
