Senate Amendment 001

Deletes from the new affirmative defense to a charge of prostitution that the accused engaged in or performed prostitution as a result of being a victim of trafficking as defined in the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. In the new amendatory changes to the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, provides that if an in camera hearing on the accused's safety concerns is held, the court shall cause an official record of the in camera hearing to be made, which shall be kept under seal. Provides that the court's determination of safety concerns must be by a preponderance of the evidence and that the assertion that presenting the affirmative defense to a charge of prostitution by the accused in open court would likely (rather than could) jeopardize the safety of the accused, court personnel, or other persons.
