*LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY SAFE HARBOR FOR TRAFFICKED YOUTH*
The trafficking of children is happening in urban areas, rural areas, and
has been reported in all 72 Wisconsin Counties.  Currently, children who
are trafficked, forced into commercial sex practices, can be prosecuted for
the crime of prostitution, causing victimization and burdening a child with
a criminal record. In our state, Assembly Bill 41 [AB 41] has been
introduced, passed out favorably in the Assembly Committee,  but has not
been brought to the Assembly floor for a vote.

Titled the Safe Harbor for Trafficked Youth legislation, this bill would
move our state further in protecting sexually exploited children by
treating them as victims, rather than criminals. AB 41 prohibits charging a
minor with the crime of prostitution.  This bill would bring Wisconsin’s
criminal laws in line with federal and neighboring state’s laws.

Each year, Wisconsin does more to protect sexually exploited youth.  AB 41
is the next step we can take right now to further aid child-victims in a
more caring and rehabilitative recovery of their dignity.

To pass AB 41 Speaker Robin Vos will need to place AB 41 on the Oct 8 Floor
agenda so that it can come to the floor for a vote.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Please contact your State Assembly Representative. Tell them you are in
favor of AB 41 and would like it on the Oct 8 calendar so that it will come
to the floor for a vote. Call or email Speaker Vos. Tell him you want AB 41
on the Oct 8 calendar so that it can come to the floor for a vote.
