This will never happen. It was a good read, but I found some of the elected officials responses comical. The one guy said after high school football wins the keg party would be replaced by a sex party.... Are you joking? Is he advocating for under aged drinking? The other guy is worried about men cheating on their wives? Really? I may actually email these two. Government always amazes me they think they are doing this moral thing by the laws they pass on prostitution and human trafficking but I think 8 out of 10 times they do more harm than good.

...is that it was filed by 3 FEMALE reps.  

Also one of the organizations mentioned supporting decriminalization is the Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women which goes against everything that our own Anti-Women Trafficking zealots have been preaching. I wonder who knows best :)

The other illustrative thing is this sentence: ["The 'War on Sex' hasn't stopped anyone from buying or selling sex, but it has caused a lot of collateral damage, to poor women, women of color, and trans women.] Notice who is absent from this list? Us the hobbyists. Do we qualify under homo sapience too maybe to be mentioned? Or have we already discounted been to a lesser, more primitive sub specie of primates, kind of pushed "back to the ape" maybe? At least I hope not yet "back to the amoeba." Btw, there are male escorts out there too as we all know. Even the trans gotten mentioned but not male escorts. Men truly are the second rate citizens in this country with little rights but who are still expected to assume the responsibilities. At some point in the 21 century we will seriously begin dying off. Nature is pretty cruel and straight forward about spices that loose their reason to exist.  

On the other hand, I really feel that many families have been preserved due to husband's ability to engage in commercial sex.  

But... how many relatively stable families have been broken up because a hobbyist have been outed publicly? How many two parents household turned into the single mother ones? How many lives have been unnecessarily ruined?

Most hobbyists are responsible people and are not interested in destroying their married or unmarried relationships. They take extra precautions to insure that hobbying part of their lives remains secret because what wife/girl-friend doesn't know wouldn't bother her. Hobbyists realize if she were to find out she'd have no choice but to react. Many of such reactions put a huge crack in beforehand stable relationships but... end up making lawyers a lot of money.

All moral reasoning or lack thereof aside, this bill is long overdue.  

NH is definitely not the richest state in the union, what with it's dearth of profitable industry... and one of the key points of this bill is that by decriminalizing prostitution or solicitation between consenting adults, it reduces the number of misdemeanors that the state has to push through it's extremely stressed judicial system. Of course, the existing sex crimes are now felonies (rightfully so) and therefore the costs of their due process would be coming out of the federal budget.  

I'm sure NH residents will agree that lightening the load on budget by telling people to mind their own business is a much more palatable option than any of the insane (!) taxes proposed in recent months. Besides, business taxes are already so high in NH that acknowledging agencies as legitimate businesses would probably set the Granite State's wallet solid for a change.  

I suspect this bill is going to pass before legalized marijuana, simply because the jail system in NH is a largely private enterprise, and most prostitution prosecutions usually result in a fine, which we know makes no money for those in the state that truly hold sway in such matters.
