New bill would decriminalize, support sex workers in New York
A new bill that would decriminalize sex work in New York — while still holding pimps and buyers accountable — is set to be introduced in the state Senate this week, The Post has learned.
Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan), who is slated to announce the bill Monday morning, created the legislation with the assistance of sex trade survivors and advocates who want to make sure workers are given help instead of a jail cell.

Would Prostitutes be SUPER SPREADERS (pun intended)?
I am sure the legalize Prostitution bill will pass. New York wants the tax revenue.
I can see these leftists fretting about people leaving NY. “What’s gonna bring people back... I know! Let’s maker prostitution legal! That’s sure to bring the people back! Of course we will highly tax and regulate it, but legal hookers! Come on man! Who’s with me!?”
Back to XXX 1970s Times Square!
Perhaps they can make pimps highly paid government employees with full benefits including early retirement.
It's New York, so yes I'm that cynical.
I see what they did there. :)
One upside of this is we will soon have an accurate tally of the number of johns in the NY State legislature.
You would think the politicians would object to the competition for screwing taxpayers...
One can get a good idea of that now if you take the time to comb through the paperwork the NYS legislature files.
There are some very interesting people receiving money from Albany for some very questionable services rendered.
Perhaps they should form a blue ribbon panel to do a feasibility study. Eliot Spitzer could chair the panel.
Seems like a violation of the 14th. The Johns can be punished for what is not a crime from the hooker.
Nice feminist vision there...
Cookies, therapy, and set of professional clothes if your feeding yourself by peddling it; jail time and a criminal record if you are lonely and desperate enough to be buying it.
Progress... Yay.

So the prostitute can black mail and extort her pimp and her john.
Cause that is exactly what is going to happen (in NY)
I’m not kidding, though, I was looking for something else recently and came across a name that was on there, someone who was being paid 5 figures annually for a job I know this person wasn’t doing.
And I found that by accident.
Just out of curiosity, kept looking and found a number of expenditures that had my jaw dropping.
This was all out in the open.
Since this was out in the open, for anyone bothering to look, can you imagine what the legislature is hiding?!
What is a “support sex worker”? Is that a pimp or the guy in the fleabag hotel who controls the rooms.
I don’t want to know what the disability claims might look like.
Further, if prostitution then becomes a "legitimate," business how does that work in terms of commercial liability, workers' compensation, etc.? Very broadly speaking, any commercial undertaking falls under many aspects of contract law. Generally, a contract that includes an illegal act is not a valid contract, so how does a "legal" prostitute sell her services to somebody who is prohibited by law from buying them?
The "liberty" to perpetuate and promote all activities detrimental to civilization.
Major premise: libertardians promote evil and degradation.
Minor premise: Evil and degradation destroy civilization.
Conclusion: libertardians destroy civilization.
Empty office space problem solved.
Heck, it really could be the New Amsterdam after all!
Legalize all drugs in NY, all kinds of problems will just go away. Change the purity of the fentanyl about a year out...BAM! Lots more problems go magically away.
