Governor Scott signs Sex Offender Bill (HB 1301) into Law
Add 2018 to the list of years in which the sex offender registry became more onerous and restrictive (and punitive). Governor Rick Scott signed HB 1301/SB 1226 into law.
CS/HB 1301/SB 1226 Sexual Offenders and Predators – This bill enhances registration requirements for sexual offenders and sexual predators. It shortens the time that a registrant is required to register a residence (even temporary) from 5 days to 3 days and it imposes a 6 month mandatory minimum community control sentence with GPS monitoring for any technical registration violation.
The registry is NOTHING like it was in 2003 when the Supreme Court of the United States agreed that it was no more onerous than a price club membership application.

what’s wrong? afraid of the truth?
Hey I dont know if this is allowed, but if anyone lives in district 22 (poll county, lake city area) there is someone trying to run for state Senate there and trying to get enough signatures on the ballot. His name is Ryan Morales. Hes running as an independent and is a little more liberal on issues than I like, but I spoke to him about our situation and he said he completely understands and has friends on the registry, and would be willing to look into other solutions to help us. It could definitely help us even if we dont live in his district, I believe any potential for reform by someone who will look at facts over emotion is a good thing. Hes real strong on criminal justice reform, wants to do away with the private prison industry etc. Thought I should share as I had a nice conversation with him about it even though hes not in my district
Thanks for information i will definetly contack him on some of these issuse too yes registery needs rework but most people dont care thanks
” Our Ex Post Facto lawsuit is coming!”
Are we challenging AWA in the State of Florida?
Another chance for the Books to operate on their own agenda Senator Book gets to exact more revenge and steal state money for her charity while claiming she’s protecting children and her father gets to make himself and all those politicians he funneled money to through campaign contributions richer by filling for profit prisons with sex offenders that violated some stupid counterproductive law that his daughter came up with including our governor
I’ve been a reg S.O. 11yrs, and my advise to all reg S.O.’s is simple:
1.If u have any family get to them ASAP, keeps rogue Police/Citizen’s from harassing you, stops covert entrapment schemes,
2. Except the facts, reality is Sex Offender Law’s will always be fueled, geared up again and again as Governor’s keep changing!
3. Regardless what Law’s are thrown at S.O.’s, the reality is if/when a child is hurt and in some cases Killed there’s going to “HELL” to pay for it!
4. The biggest contributor, cause of the Governor’s enacting tougher S.O. Law’s you’ll often find there’s another case of a injured child!
5. The child and female survivers live Life Sentence’s also! I don’t have to tell u the judges name’s do I? If so reply.
Hang it up, pack it in, close up shop. Isolated.Death only relief.
@Mark
Don’t say death is your only relief, because of the effort of fac legal and supporters of ex post facto challenge is all going to change soon… have faith brother!
What do you mean by ex post facto challange? What exactly does that mean?
In general terms it means “After the fact”. In our case, it means changing the rules and/or adding punishments after you sentence is supposed to be done. For instance, back in 2000 you could petition to get off the registry after ten years. Now, it is for life.
Too many examples to list here.
The ex post facto case is to at least roll back reporting rules to something more reasonable.
In FL even after death you are required to register twice a year, register all communication methods, and can not be buried within 1000ft of a school, Park, or cemetery.
These are the times that try men’s souls
Overrit,Thanks for the laughs,i needed it,,,,,
Bruce,
Overit is not kidding. Take a GOOD LOOK at the Fla Registry. There are people listed as deceased.
Oh, how true that is… how much it hurts is incomprehensible. the worst part of the whole death part is, which will hurt our family the most… what they’re currently going through, or the death part.
–godspeed guys! just one more day. just one more day.
