NH: Huge Movement in New Hampshire Legislature
Although it’s not in Florida, the New Hampshire legislature has proposed a bill that shows a lot of insight and indicates that at least somewhere in the country, some legislators are beginning to see the bigger picture and do the right thing.
The bill would prohibit the retroactive application of the sex offender registry.
A sex offender required to register with the state would register based on the laws in effect at the time of the offense, not based on the laws then in effect.
Rep. Cynthia L. Chase, who sponsored the bill said that she supports the bill “because sex offenders shouldn’t live in fear of being killed by vigilantes.”
Let’s hope her bill gets lots of support and also hope that others follow suit.

It is about time. New Hampshire should lead the example for every state. I was already impressed that New Hampshire passed a law that prohibits law makers from making residency restriction laws. That was amazing.
Man, the State of New Hampshire is awesome. This is the same state that passed a law that prohibits any law maker from passing residency restriction laws if I’m correct. in other words, they made it illegal. How kick ass is that?….Florida should learn from the examples of New Hampshire and not bend over every time the Federal government of private entities say so. Florida is a constitutional embarrassment.
