An Act to stop profiling transgender people and low-income women

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws to remove specific criminal penalties for sex work and to protect individuals who report crimes from facing charges related to their own prior offenses. It achieves this by deleting language in Chapter 272 that criminalizes street solicitation and repealing a separate section of the same chapter entirely. Additionally, the bill adds a new provision to Chapter 94C that grants immunity from prosecution for drug possession or sex work violations if the evidence was obtained while the person was acting as a crime reporter. These changes directly affect transgender people and low-income women who are frequently targeted by current enforcement practices, aiming to reduce their criminal liability when engaging in sex work or assisting law enforcement.
