            Delegate Fleischauer moves to amend the bill on page nine, line fifteen, by striking out all of subsection (d) and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

            “(d) As soon as practicable after a first encounter with an individual who reasonably appears to a law-enforcement officer to be a victim or minor who has engaged in commercial sexual activity, the law enforcement officer shall notify the appropriate agencies identified in the co-ordinated and comprehensive plan developed under subsection (d), section four of this article, that the individual may be eligible for a benefit or service under this code. Nothing in this article is intended to prevent individuals from reporting suspected commercial sexual activity of a victim or minor to law enforcement, or any other appropriate agency or entity.”
