SAFE SEX Workers Study Act
HR 10456, the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act, requires the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to study the impacts of the SESTA/FOSTA law on sex workers and human trafficking investigations. The HHS study will examine how the loss of online platforms (like Backpage) affected sex workers' health, safety, economic stability, and access to harm reduction services. The Justice Department will assess how SESTA/FOSTA changed human trafficking investigations, prosecutions, and law enforcement practices. Both reports must be completed within one year of the bill's enactment and made publicly available.
