CA Govenor Signs Package of Sex Predator Laws

[chicoliving]

California has six new laws on the books Wednesday intended to strengthen protections against sexual predators.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the legislation Wednesday morning. In brief, the measures will: make the use of electronic monitoring a permanent program; increase penalties for child rapists, child pornographers and Internet predators; require registered sex offenders to disclose their registration status to prospective employers when applying for certain jobs; prohibit child molesters from employing minors and creates a sex offender management board to better track parolees.

I believe South Carolina has them beat with the death penalty as an option for predators.

I doubt CA has the toughest laws although maybe they will start keeping track of these predators and bring down the hammer. Sounds like S Carolina has the right idea!!
