(Robin Hebrock | Pahrump Valley Times) – Nye County is currently considering making several changes to Nye County Code Title 9, which regulates the brothel industry and one of the proposed changes, a six-hour leave rule, sparked outrage from many, particularly courtesans and advocates of the industry.
However, Nye County has now backed off that proposed language, which is no longer included in the draft to be addressed at the public hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. on Dec. 17 in the Nye County Commission Chambers in Pahrump.
The dispute surrounded the proposed code language that would impose a restriction on prostitutes working in brothels, limiting the amount of time they could be off-premises to just six hours every 10-day period.
