Title
An Act concerning Prostitution Free Zones for the purpose of establishing Prostitution Free Zones and enforcement provisions.
Background
The proposed legislation would authorize the Chief of Police to declare “Prostitution Free Zones” in the County based on certain criteria and for a certain period of time. The bill provides that, while a Prostitution Free Zone is in effect, it is unlawful for a group of two or more persons to congregate on public space or property in that area for the purpose of engaging in prostitution or prostitution-related offenses. The District of Columbia has a similar law which was adopted in 2006 by the Council and became effective April 24, 2007.
