	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2424, Campos. Prostitution.
   Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to solicit or agree to engage
in or engage in any act of prostitution. Each person who, within this
state, takes any person against his or her will and without his or
her consent, or with his or her consent procured by fraudulent
inducement or misrepresentation, for the purpose of prostitution is
punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, and a fine not
exceeding $2,000.
   This bill would instead limit the fine from exceeding $10,000.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 266a of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   266a.  Each person who, within this state, takes any person
against his or her will and without his or her consent, or with his
or her consent procured by fraudulent inducement or
misrepresentation, for the purpose of prostitution, as defined in
subdivision (b) of Section 647, is punishable by imprisonment in the
state prison, and a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars
($10,000).
