FAC Call To Action. Stop SB 1226
News on Florida Sex Offender Registry
ATTENTION ALL Members and Supporters
Our legislators, republican and democrats alike, refuse to recognize the empirical data regarding sex offender policy. All they continue to do is pass “feel good” legislation, which does nothing for public safety nor stop the cycle of abuse.
DEMAND EDUCATED AND INORMED POLICY! ASK FOR THE EVIDENCE WHICH THEY BASED A NEED TO CHANGE THE EXISTING POLICY!!!!
SB1226 is being read for the second time by the Senate, which is just the precursor to the third reading and floor vote to move forward another piece of legislation to make your existence more stressful, in many cases it will be impossible to comply.
This bill changes the definition of “temporary residence from 5-days to just 3-days. It also adds mandatory electronic monitoring and minimum terms of community control for registration violations.
It punishes those who seek to visit family, do business or vacation in our state just for being required to register for a PAST offense, whether you live here or not.

CALL EVERYONE IN THE SENATE AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO!!!
This is based on nothing! Its sole purpose is to punish those required to register and to create another trap to put people back into prison for non-crimes!
