Criminal Justice

Chris believes we must do everything possible to keep our families and children safe from the threat of sexual predators.

Chris authored a measure to require sex offenders who claim to be homeless to register with their local law enforcement agency every two (2) weeks.  This was a top priority for law enforcement, who had seen cases of sex offenders claiming to be homeless in order to evade registration requirements.  Chris’s bill was combined with an identical piece of legislation during the committee process, passed both houses and was signed by the governor.

Chris also authored and passed out of the House legislation requiring computer technicians to report the discovery of child pornography to law enforcement.  Even though this measure had strong support from law enforcement, it dies it the Senate. Chris intends to re-file this important piece of legislation during the 82nd Legislative Session.
