Sean Walton<\/a> – January 15, 2020<\/p>\n

A bill has been proposed in the Vermont Legislature to decriminalize adult prostitution.<\/p>\n

The legislation is co-sponsored by four female legislators. Rep. Selene Colburn, a Burlington progressive, said she thinks that decriminalizing sex work will improve safety and health of prostitutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe underlying question is do we need to criminalize consensual sex between adults on any terms?,\u201d she said. Sex trafficking, exploitation and solicitation of minors will remain a serious felony, she said.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers say the World Health Organization agrees with them. Nevada is the only state that currently allows prostitution.<\/p>\n

The bill is pending in Vermont\u2019s House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n
