SB1414 wants to make it a felony instead of a misdemeanor to solicit sex from a minor. Here's are two quotes from activists opposed to the bill per an excerpt from an article at wsbt.com

"We do feel this bill is deeply flawed and contradicts our core values and principles,” Kellie Walters of Legal Services for Prisoners with Children said. “We are particularly concerned that the harsher penalties proposed in this bill will disproportionately impact marginalized communities, especially members of the LGBTQ community who already suffer from systematic biases within the criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to sexually-based offenses.”

"Isabella Borgeson from the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights said. “We are concerned that the harsher penalties contained in this bill will disproportionately impact marginalized communities, particularly Black and brown individuals who already bear the brunt of systemic biases within our criminal justice system.”
