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

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to remove specific language targeting "common night walkers" and "common street walkers" and repeals a section of the penal code related to these terms. It also adds a new provision stating that individuals who report crimes in good faith will not face charges for possession of controlled substances or sex for money if the evidence against them was obtained as a result of their report. The legislation directly affects transgender people and low-income women who are frequently subjected to policing for these specific activities. By removing the legal basis for targeting these groups and offering immunity to crime reporters, the bill aims to reduce discriminatory enforcement practices.
