Proposed Bill in Mississippi Will Make Employment for Sex Offenders Even More Difficult

A bill pending in the Mississippi Legislature would require employers of registered sex offenders to notify parents or guardians of minors who might be in direct, private and unsupervised contact with the employee.

The bill would apply to all registered sex offenders regardless of the date of conviction.

The House Judiciary B Committee on Tuesday passed Senate Bill 2532 to the full House for a vote. If the full House approves it, the bill will go to Gov. Phil Bryant to sign.

The bill can be read here: http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2019/html/SB/2500-2599/SB2532IN.htm

    They just need someone else to be the most hated.

    I’ve never been in direct, private, and unsupervised contact with any children in any aspect of any job I’ve had in the past 27 years I’ve been oppressed by the state of Flori-duh. Can’t think of any reason I would or even could be, so this would have zero impact on me if inacted here. Regardless, it’s a typical waste of resources. Private prison cuckold lawmakers trying to seem tough on crime while using any drummed up sex offense platform to push an agenda and fill the private prisons as they empty of marijuana inmates. Perhaps we should be fighting to make private prisons a thing of the past and to give power back to the judges.

    Like there’s any chance this WON’T pass?? Staunchly conservative Legislature in a staunchly conservative State, with a lame-duck, staunchly conservative Governor.

      Sadly we in the south are in the “Bible Belt” where fake Christians are the rule of the day. I am blessed to worship with true Christians who believe the laws that keep me unemployable and marked for life are ridiculous. I have a great support system in place with my church family. Maybe we need more REAL CHRISTIANS WHO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE’S TEACHING ON REDEMPTION AND FORGIVENESS in office.

      Not surprisingly, this bill passed the MS House on 3/13. There were ZERO nays in either chamber…again, surprise, surprise. Now off to the rabidly conservative, lame-duck governor for his rubber stamp.

    Nothing new here – Just adding more punishments to the American citizens deemed and labelled as “non-persons.”

    Just another day of punishment in American formerly known as “the land of the free.”

      Really? Why would Drunken Ron venture two States over for this (relatively) weak addition to MS’s SORA? Seems Drunken Ron has a few other things on his plate right now versus lobbying a rabidly conservative State on passing legislation as such.

      Not saying it didn’t happen, it just seems peculiar.

      Go on welfare? That’s a JOKE! As a single man with no dependents in TN I am blessed to even get my $192/month in food stamp benefits. There isn’t crap out there in the way of public assistance for a single male with no kids. Period. All we get is flipped off at every turn.
