Committee adds reverse repealer and advances SB 22-31 on prostitution procurement

Jan 30, 2026

The committee voted to add a reverse-repealer amendment to SB 22-31, allowing continued drafting of technical changes before floor consideration; a tie vote on the amendment was broken by the chair in favor of advancing the measure.

The full story

Chair recognized the bill and asked Senator Hill to summarize SB 22-31, which would make procuring prostitution a first-degree felony in some circumstances and authorize impoundment of a vehicle. Senator Hill moved to add a reverse-repealer so the committee could continue working on language while keeping the bill moving toward the floor: "So I would move that we add a reverse repealer to this bill to keep it moving, And that way, we can work together to get the proper amendments before we bring it to the floor." (Senator Hill).
