AZ SB1371

Amends prostitution laws to clarify that entering a house of prostitution or engaging a prostitution enterprise requires paying for sexual conduct, changing the definition from "being an employee at" a house of prostitution.

Removes the "employee" definition from statute and eliminates child prostitution charges against minors who engage in prostitution, allowing them to be taken into temporary custody instead.

Establishes mandatory sentencing for child prostitution involving minors ages 15-17, with minimum 7-21 years imprisonment for first offenses under subsection A, and 13-27 years for first offenses under subsection B.

Adds child prostitution and sex trafficking as grounds for taking a child into temporary custody under child protective services law (section 8-821).

Allows previously convicted minors to petition for expungement of convictions for prostitution offenses that would no longer be prosecutable as crimes under the new law.
