http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.4472.IH:
The Childrens Safety Act was introduced and authored by Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on December 8, 2005.
Although the House of Representatives passed HR 3132 in 2005, it languished in the United States Senate because of the inclusion of so called poison pill amendments.
The updated version of the Children's Safety Act
attempts to ease Senate concerns by removing objectionable amendments: most notably Title X The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention amendment.
The Children's Safety Act will include the following provisions:
Improves Sex Offender Registration and Notification Program to ensure that sex offenders register, and keep current, where they reside, work and attend school;
Improves verification systems for sex offender information by requiring monthly verification, sex offender in-person verification every six months, and regular notarized verification mailings;
Requires States to have a uniform, public access sex offender registration website;
Creates Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website to search for sex offender information in each community;
Expands sex offenders to include juvenile sex offenders;
Requires States to notify each other when sex offender moves from one State to another;
Expands sex offenses covered by registration and notification requirements to include military, tribal, foreign, sex crimes, and increases duration of registration requirements to protect the public;
Expands community notification requirements to include active efforts to inform law enforcement agencies, schools, public housing, social service agencies and volunteer organizations in area where sex offender resides, works or attends school;
Creates new criminal penalty of mandatory minimum of 5 years to maximum of 20 years for sex offender who fails to comply with registration requirements;
Expands law enforcement use of DNA to solve sex crimes;
Prevents and deters violent crimes against children and sexual exploitation of children
Protects foster children from sexual abuse and exploitation;
Increases criminal penalties against child sexual predators.
Common denominators inherent in all politicians include their ability to count votes and their desire to either secure reelection or seek the next rung on the ladder. There is an unwritten rule that each issue related concern that is brought to their attention represents 100 constituents who have not and will not take the time to convey their concerns via personal communications. By skillfully utilizing the US Senate Contact list that we have provided you will be able to make your voice heard. Tell the Senators to support and vote for the Childrens Safety Act. Together we can change the world.
