Prohibits the use of the term 'sex work' and certain variations of such term in the law
This bill prohibits the use of the terms "sex work," "sex worker," "sex-work," and "sex-worker" in all legal documents, including laws, regulations, rules, and resolutions. It directly affects state government agencies, courts, and legislators who draft or reference legal language. The bill requires replacing these terms with alternative phrasing in all official state communications and legal materials. This is a procedural change to standardize terminology in state law, not a policy shift on related issues.
