3prosecuting or adjudicating delinquent a person under the age of 18 for

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who is under the age of 18 may be prosecuted or
adjudicated delinquent for committing an act of prostitution, a Class A
misdemeanor. Under this bill, a person who is under the age of 18 may not be
prosecuted or adjudicated delinquent for committing an act of prostitution. This bill
also eliminates the option under current law in cases where a person under the age
of 18 has committed an act of prostitution for a court to enter a consent decree under
the Juvenile Justice Code, or a deferred prosecution agreement under the Juvenile
Justice Code or adult criminal statutes, if the court determines that a consent decree
or deferred prosecution agreement will serve the best interests of the person being
prosecuted and will not harm society.
