SS: Senate Bill 1414, a recently signed CA law, makes it a felony to purchase or solicit a child 15 years and younger for sex. Assembly Bill 379 would have made it a felony to buy 16 and 17 year-olds as well. The bill has other sections as well. However, it was this part that received the most opposition. State Assemblywoman Maggy Krell agreed to remove the clause that would upgrade the trafficking of 16 and 17-year-olds to a felony. She stated that “In order to get a hearing on the bill, we were forced to remove the piece of the bill that ensures the crime of purchasing a minor for sex applies in all cases where the victim is under the age of 18.” [https://archive.is/OmSKW](https://archive.is/OmSKW)

It’s already against the law. Why do you need more of them?
What is your source one this? I ask because [my source](https://www.kcra.com/article/california-ab-379-child-sex-trafficking-bill-assembly/64782285) says this bill advanced through the California House yesterday, and will be considered in the California Senate in June.
So in CA you can buy an 18 year old???
OP why do you share so much fake news?
