Comments on: Amendment filed in HB 45 https://floridaactioncommittee.org/amendment-filed-in-hb-45/ Reforming Florida’s Sex Offender Registry Laws Tue, 04 Nov 2025 21:19:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: KYLE M https://floridaactioncommittee.org/amendment-filed-in-hb-45/comment-page-2/#comment-69730 Tue, 04 Nov 2025 21:19:45 +0000 https://floridaactioncommittee.org/?p=26098#comment-69730 It seems to me that if the Legislators recognize that it would be legally problematic to retroactively apply this new law to PFR’s, then at some point, their continuous piling on of additional restrictions will tip the scales to making Florida’s registration scheme as a whole, punitive and not remedial.

As long as they keep thinking of low hanging fruit they believe is there for the pickin’, yes, you are correct they will stay that course, sadly, @CherokeeJack

My mental health has significantly deteriorated in the last few years and when I received the initial notice about this bill it sent me reeling and feeling totally overwhelmed. I immediately had to cancel my plans and just stay home for a few days. Yet another round of “should we leave Florida?” talks ensued. But I would rather be upset and alarmed now than find out about it after it already became law!! During my first 20 years on the registry I would only find out about new punishing laws when I went to my local sheriff’s office and was told about their immediate implementation. Thank you FAC for helping us, painful and triggering as it is, to become aware of these hateful stunts before they are imposed!!
Much Gratitude
No Body

I am confident we’re it not for FAC persons forced to register would be in a much worse situation.

Hopefully the fever of ignorance will break and logical fact based reasoning will prevail. Only by fighting thiat disease can we hope to cure it

But just like Terrorist who never give up and eventually plan another attack, I am sure the lawmakers will find some other rule, law or ordinance to get us all riled up.

Having said that, F.A.C and other groups are loaded and ready at the defense when the time comes.

News I kind of spoke about in my other post. Making that retroactive would have crossed the punishment line. Still though I believe this bill will not pass. It violates the very fiber of the Constitution. Banishes tax paying, law abiding citizens and is forced segregation.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Perhaps, the person who filed the amendment read the 14th amendment. Maybe even the Civil Rights act of 1964. Begs the question, has SORNA ever been challenged under CRA of 64? Before you all jump on me, yes I know the CRA was based on racial segregation but I personally don’t think it is that far of a leap when over 1 million Americans fall into our class of citizenry. Are repeat bank robbers restricted from living next to or going to a bank? Are DUI offenders forbiden from living next to a bar, or banned from going in them? Just sayin!

Thank you FAC and all those that bombarded with email, letters and phone calls. And also to those who got down on bended knee and said many prayers. A battle has been won, but the WAR rages on.

Was this a separate bill or an item that didn’t make it through to this bill? So many of these crazy laws and bills its hard to keep track. Thanks

Suffering is the point. That’s always been the point.
