The Washington state Senate has unanimously passed a measure to establish a task force to help fight the commercial sexual exploitation of minors.

Passed on Wednesday, the measure would establish the Commercially Sexually Exploited Children Statewide Coordinating Committee. That body would look at how local and regional groups deal with minors who are victims of the sex trade and would make policy recommendations to the Legislature.

The measure, which has received support from the Seattle-based Center for Children & Youth Justice, heads next to the House.
