A08071 Memo:

BILL NUMBER:A8071A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in
relation to the treatment of certain juveniles for certain
prostitution offenses

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends the Criminal
Procedure Law to allow criminal court judges to treat individuals who
are charged with prostitution or loitering for the purposes of
prostitution when sixteen or seventeen, years of age as persons in
need of supervision ("PINS") under the Family Court Act. It also
provides that if such an individual is convicted of or pleads guilty
to such a charge, the judge must substitute a youthful offender
adjudication.

EXISTING LAW: Under current law these individuals are charged as
criminals in the criminal courts.

JUSTIFICATION: Individuals under, the age of sixteen who are arrested
for prostitution or loitering for the purposes of prostitution are
treated in the Family Court as sexually exploited children and are
eligible for service alternatives as opposed to juvenile delinquency
adjudications. While the definition of a sexually exploited child,
which was created in 2007 under the Safe Harbour Law, includes
children under the age of eighteen, sixteen and seventeen year olds
brought to criminal court are often not offered similar service
alternatives but are instead treated as criminals. This bill would
bring some parity between those under and over the age of sixteen who
are arrested for alleged acts of prostitution.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply
to such offenses alleged to have been committed on or after such
effective date, as well as to charges for such offenses pending on
such effective date for, which sentence had not yet been imposed.
