Decriminalize is different from legalize. Proponents of this law, which passed a few months ago say it is an anti-trafficking bill. Police can still take the underaged victims into custody. However, instead of them going into the criminal justice system where they would be treated as "deliquents," they are directed to "juvenile dependency court." The intent is to separate them from pimps/traffickers.
