Original Note:
Claims AB 379 was about making it a felony to "purchase" 16- and 17-year-olds for sex, when the bill deals w/ “solicitation”, targeting intent, not completed purchases. There’s a legal difference. It’s a felony to complete the act. https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/05/california-democrats-teen-sex-solicitation/ https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-05-01/democrats-double-down-against-newsom-remove-felony-penalty-from-minor-solicitation-bill
