"Brothels are only legal in counties that contain below 700,000 inhabitants which are the most rural parts of Nevada" (Martinez)

We propose that the state of Nevada should legalize prostitution in all of its counties, because it would make a safe, efficient business and bring money to the economy.

Restrictions

  • Exclusive to those of age
  • Required health screenings
  • Brothels locations
