Legislative intent. The purpose of this legislation is to strengthen protection for the victims of sex trafficking, labor traf- ficking, compelling prostitution and trafficking in persons, who are convicted of a range of offenses as a result of that trafficking or compelling. New York's landmark law offering the vacating of convictions for prostitution-related offenses that were a result of this trafficking has been the model for laws in more than half of the states. However, several states wisely offer this relief to victims who may be compelled to participate in other offenses as well. This legislation would follow that example. § 2. Paragraph (i) of subdivision 1 of section 440.10 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by section 3 of part OO of chapter 55 of the laws of 2019 and subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (i) of subdivision 1 as amended by chapter 131 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: (i) The judgment is a conviction where [the arresting charge was under section 240.37 (loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense, provided that the defendant was not alleged to be loitering for the purpose of patronizing a person for prostitution or promoting pros- titution) or 230.00 (prostitution) or 230.03 (prostitution in a school EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
