Disorderly conduct.

Under existing law, a person who commits certain acts, including soliciting or, engaging in lewd or dissolute conduct in a public place, is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. This bill would make a violation of that provision involving any adult who solicits a minor to engage in or who engages in lewd or dissolute conduct with a minor in a public place punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 90 days, except as specified. Existing law also provides that a person who solicits or agrees to engage in or who engages in any act of prostitution, as specified, is guilty of disorderly conduct. This bill would make a violation of that provision involving any adult who solicits or who agrees to engage in or who engages in an act of prostitution where the other party to the act is a minor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 90 days, except as specified. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
