Why Should Christians Care?
Summary
HB507 would make it a felony to knowingly receive money or anything of value from a person if one knows that the money or object of value was obtained from sex work. The bill contains no limits to this provision, so a doctor, therapist, clergy, attorney, or other professional would be in violation of this bill if they recieved money from a person engaged in sex worker. The same would hold true if a family member recieved money from a person engaged in sex work.
