A group of Democratic lawmakers in New York state introduced a bill Monday that seeks to decriminalize sex work and make it legal to engage in the consensual sale of sex.

The bill, which follows similar legislative efforts in other states, including Massachusetts and Maine, would go further by vacating prior convictions of people engaged in activity that would no longer be considered criminal. Supporters stressed that the legislation would not alter current laws on sex trafficking or the exploitation of minors.

At a news conference in New York, legislators and advocates with Decrim NY, the coalition pushing for the bill, said that legal attempts to crack down on sex work have historically failed and that an overburdened criminal justice system shouldn't be used to prosecute consenting adults.

Cuomo won’t support bill to legalize prostitution in New York as legislative session comes to an end

STATEN ISLAND -- A bill that would legalize prostitution in New York will not be getting the green light from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

With the 2019 legislative session quickly coming to an end, Cuomo said Monday he had yet to review legislation that would allow for paid sex between consenting adults, a bill that opponents say would protect against human trafficking, coercion, and sexual abuse of minors.

“I have not read the bill. And I don't believe at this stage in the session you can pick up that bill, educate yourself on the issue, and have reasonable conversation,” Cuomo said Monday on WAMC radio. “That will go down on one of those controversial items list. Guns, reproductive health, et cetera. You can put right up there legalizing prostitution. I don't think people are going to do that on 48-hour notice.”

The bills have only been introduced to the legislature, which is scheduled to wrap up its session June 19.

In an op-ed published by the New York Daily News in February, the bill’s sponsors Sen. Julia Salazar (D-Brooklyn) and Sen. Jessica Ramos (D-Queens), said undocumented Asian women working in dubious massage parlors are some of the people most at-risk by the underground nature of the sex trade.
