Passage and Signing of House Bill 1123
Prax(us) is thrilled to announce the Colorado General Assembly’s Passage of House Bill 1123 “Human Trafficking Involuntary Servitude” on May 5, 2009. We would like to thank everyone for their support in bringing awareness to the issue of human trafficking across our state. HB 1123 will encourage and facilitate local law enforcement and attorneys in pushing for trafficking convictions in the Colorado judicial system, improving local and state-wide efforts to eradicate human trafficking in Colorado. All youth under the age of eighteen involved in the commercial sex industry will now legally be classified as victims of human trafficking in Colorado, helping to ensure that youth in exploitative situations are not unfairly prosecuted and criminalized. Prax(us) would like to especially thank Representative Lambert, House sponsor of HB 1123, for the opportunity, through several conversations, to express our concerns and give recommendations to the language and intent of the bill. All of our recommendations were ultimately listened to and incorporated. Our involvement allowed us to mobilize community support for HB1123 and testify for the bill in committee.
Background & Case Study:
On February 24, 2009, the Denver Post reported that the FBI conducted a nation-wide sting on prostitution rings. In the Denver metro area, three young women, ages 16 and 17, were found to be in sexually exploitive situations. While federal anti-trafficking laws maintain that any youth under the age of 18 involved in the commercial sex industry should be classified as a human trafficking victim, previous anti-trafficking laws in Colorado required that youth prove force, fraud, or coercion in order to convict the trafficker or “pimp.” Prior to the passage of HB 1123, Colorado might not have recognized this as a trafficking situation, leaving the young women exposed to prostitution charges. Thanks to your support, HB 1123 passed, allowing the state of Colorado to legally identify all youth under 18 in exploitative situations as survivors of human trafficking. This is an important step in moving away from the criminalization of youth for the effects of systemic oppression on their lives.
