They should ask how many employees in a position of trust commit crimes that would yield a sex conviction that are employed by them. Oh wait, they cannot because they are the ~95% first time offenders who are not on a public non-punishing list…

Aren’t bills supposed to have a rational connection and not throwing things to see what sticks.

Being able to vote now I definitely should have free access to my representative

Guessing it’s somewhere between zero and none.

Right. I see cases all the time about nursing home employees abusing the residents, but never once have I ever seen a report of a registered person patient doing anything wrong.

Make sure to ask them: Do you think there was never a person with a sex conviction in a nursing home PRIOR TO the existence of the registry? So since the existence of the registry, what’s changed about someone being able to go into a nursing home?

That’s what I would put in the letter/email.

Hey disgusted I used to volunteer at a nursing home and I have 2 things to say 1 there was an alztimers patient who was a lady who used to pull up her dress and yell at every male she seen that she wanted sex it was because of her illness including g knocking another patient down and trying to get what she wanted. She was not the only patient on that floor with problems like this because they were reverting back to they’re childhood .so it shouldn’t matter someone’s status as a registered citizen. 2 because of this game I seen I made the decision that neither of my parents would EVER be placed in a home granted not all staff or how.es are bad but alot of the time the staff is more dangerous then any of the residents. Just saying

Are you kidding me? If a person is in a nursing home, it usually means that person is unable to care for himself.
I thought registrants were only supposed to be interested in abusing children, not elderly people?
I will be contacting these senators and demand them to explain why they think a registrant in a nursing home is dangerous.
I will also be demanding that if they pass this disclosure legislation, then they also must pass the same disclosure for anyone who has so much as spit on a sidewalk.
