Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitution; modify in the fourth class city act. Amends sec. 1, ch. XI of 1895 PA 215 (MCL 91.1). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5016'25

HB 5020 amends Section 1(b) of Michigan's Fourth Class City Act (MCL 91.1) to replace the term "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" in city ordinances. This technical update affects fourth-class cities' authority to prohibit certain conduct under local laws. The bill makes no substantive policy change - it only modernizes the legal terminology while preserving existing enforcement powers. The amendment aligns city ordinance language with current legal standards without altering regulatory scope.
