CARSON CITY — Pimps who lure children into prostitution would lose their personal assets and be fined as much as $500,000 under a bill that won unanimous approval Monday in the Senate.

Assembly Bill 380 has already cleared the Assembly and now goes to Gov. Jim Gibbons for his signature.

“This shows we really mean business,” said Assemblyman John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas.
