Call To Action: Florida Governor – Suspend IN PERSON Registration
The latest state numbers show that known cases of the new coronavirus in Florida have doubled in the last four days. While much of the world is practicing social distancing and not leaving their homes unless necessary, the State of Florida is STILL requiring persons required to register as sex offenders to report IN PERSON to the county registration offices and Driver’s License offices to report changes that can easily be done over the phone.
No exceptions are being made for those who are sick, elderly, have compromised immune systems or who are otherwise at high risk of serious medical problems or even death if they are exposed to the virus. Even while many municipalities are issuing stay-at-home orders and Driver’s License offices have closed.
We need to call on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to issue an executive order suspending IN PERSON registration requirements while this emergency situation is pending and allow all required reporting to be made via phone, online or via mail.
You can Email the Governor at [email protected] or call (850) 488-7146

Done. I had not been on this site for a while. You all have been working hard. Thank you FAC and all those who are stepping up to help out.
I sent an e-mail. Hopefully he is not too busy to be able to read our requests
And I think we all know what’s going to happen when they construct temporary hospitals to treat this pandemic … hospitals with pediatric sections. Hospitals S.O.’s will NOT be able to use due to our probation.
Done
Emailed DeSantis and included appeal for repeal of SORNA and an end to life time registration
I sent the following to Fort Myers TV (and radio) WINK, NBC2, WFTX, WZVN, WGCU (radio), WBBH:
Florida Action Committee members have been begging Governor Ron DeSantis to suspend in-person sex offense registrations. They can be done over the telephone.
He has refused to act for several days now.
An FDLE spokesperson (Adam) said that registrant health was not being taken into consideration – only the health of sheriff’s deputies.
Governor DeSantis is putting our lives at risk needlessly!
I also emailed deSantis (for the 3rd time in 3 days).
