California Democrats revise sex trafficking bill SB 1414, aiming to adjust penalty schemes.

California Democrats face criticism for "watering down" sex trafficking bill SB 1414, but their changes aim to insert sanity into the punishment schemes. The bill, introduced in April by state Sens. Shannon Grove (R), Anna Caballero (D), and Susan Rubio (D), aims to raise penalties for soliciting minors for prostitution. The bill passed the state Senate in May and the Assembly Public Safety Committee last week.
