<p>Colorado Democrats have introduced a bill that would make the Centennial State the first to fully legalize prostitution.</p>
<p><a href="https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb26-097">Senate Bill 97</a>, sponsored by Democrat Senate Majority Whip Nick Hinrichsen, would repeal penalties for prostitution, currently a petty offense under Colorado law. It would also allow for “soliciting for prostitution, keeping a place of prostitution, patronizing a prostitute, and prostitute making display.”</p>
<p>Michael Allen, district attorney for Colorado’s 4th Judicial District and the top Republican candidate for state attorney general, called the bill “disgraceful.”</p>
<p>“Coloradans are leaving this state in record numbers because crime is rising and the cost of living is out of control — yet radical Democrats in the legislature are focused on legalizing prostitution,” Allen said in a statement.</p>
<p>Colorado <a href="https://www.thecentersquare.com/colorado/article_12d02ddb-6814-494e-996c-e67711def869.html">ranked</a> 13th in the nation with 88 human trafficking cases in 2024. Preliminary data show the state had 110 cases in 2025, surpassing its previous record of 107 in 2023, according to Center Square.</p>
<p>“Human trafficking is inseparable from violent crime, drug activity, and organized criminal networks,” Allen said. “Legalizing prostitution will only fuel these dangers and further victimize the most vulnerable among us.”</p>
<p>Prostitution is legal in certain Nevada counties, while Maine legalized prostitution, but criminalized paying for sex.</p>
<p>The legislation also legalizes advertising prostitution and escort services and removes language classifying buildings used for prostitution as public nuisances. If passed, it would not allow for any local laws prohibiting prostitution.</p>
<p>“Criminalizing prostitution endangers adults who engage in consensual sexual activity,” the bill reads. “Sex workers deserve clarity and certainty that they can safely conduct business within the state, regardless of the local governing authority.”</p>
<p>The bill does not allow paying for sex with children or pimping.</p>
<p>Co-sponsors of the bill include Democrat Senate Assistant Majority Leader Lisa Cutter and Democrat representatives Lorena García and Rebekah Stewart.</p>
<p>The ACLU of Colorado supports the bill, but a few towns, including Fountain, Monument, and Woodland Park, are opposing it, <a href="https://www.westword.com/news/colorado-could-legalize-prostituion-sex-work-new-bill-40843835/">according</a> to Westword.</p>
<p>The bill has been assigned to the Judiciary Committee, which includes Hinrichsen, but a hearing date has not been set. Democrats have a 5-2 majority on the committee. If passed, the bill would take effect immediately.</p>
<p>“The Democrats running for attorney general must join me in condemning this legislation and the most extreme elements of their party — immediately,” Allen said. “Colorado deserves better.”</p>
