The changes are to the human trafficking law. Here are the important sections:

4. "Human trafficking" means participating in a venture to
recruit, harbor, transport, supply provisions, or obtain a person for
any of the following purposes:
a. Forced labor or service that results in involuntary
servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.
b. Commercial sexual activity through the use of force,
fraud, or coercion, except that if the trafficked person is under the
age of eighteen, the commercial sexual activity need not involve
force, fraud, or coercion.

And the proposed changes:

FROM

"Commercial sexual activity" means any sex act on
behalf of which anything of value is given, promised to, or received by any person and
includes, but is not limited to, prostitution, participation
in the production of pornography, and performance in strip clubs.

TO:

1 1 Section 1. Section 710A.1, subsection 1, Code 2009, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 1. "Commercial sexual activity" means any sex act or sexually explicit performance for which anything
1 5 of value is given, promised to, or received by any person and
1 6 includes, but is not limited to, prostitution, participation
1 7 in the production of pornography, and performance in strip
1 8 clubs.

This does not affect legitimate production or strip clubs -- it is part of the human trafficking law that makes it a crime to force someone into sexual slavery.
If the person is already being "forced", what's the stop them from being "forced" to sign a contract saying they aren't being "forced"?

It really makes no sense....
