California repeals provision criminalizing loitering related to possible prostitution
CNN
A controversial California bill repealing loitering related to possible prostitution was signed into law Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
A provision in state law previously allowed police to arrest those who "delay or linger without a lawful purpose" if it appeared they were trying to engage in sex work. Police can no longer use this charge, and those who have been convicted are able to petition the court for resentencing or dismissal, according to the law's language.
In a letter to the state Senate, Newsom made clear this law does not legalize prostitution and that his administration will monitor the law's effects.
