Summary
The bill expands Delaware’s prostitution law to treat the management, operation, conduct, and advertising of a prostitution business as a crime. It creates a definition for “illicit massage establishment” that covers massage venues used to hide prostitution. The change aims to give law‑enforcement a clearer tool to shut down and deter repeat operations of such businesses.
