Do you people not read your sample ballots???
Marcys law was enacted in Georgia. There is ZERO need to add it to the constitution
I’ve just started to look at it today...
that’s why I’m asking about the amendments.
Anyway, thanks for your input.
I disagree. To misquote an old saying, "What congress giveth, congress can taketh away". As in most states, once it is added to the state constitution, the state legislature cannot amend it or repeal it without another ballot referendum. The state of Florida has a 20 year waiting period before an amendment to the state constitution can be revisited. Think of it this way, the people have spoken and the state congresscritters have to shut up about it.
Marsy's Law, a midterm ballot measure in six states, would expand victims' rights
Its called Marsys Law, and its currently part of the state constitution in five states and is being considered in six more Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Nevada. This initiative was championed by Henry Nicholas, the sister of Marsy Nicholas, who was murdered in 1983 by her ex-boyfriend. That ex-boyfriend was released from jail and confronted his victim's family, who were unaware that he had been released.
Particularly, if a quick modification to the statute is deemed prudent.
Giving the convict his victim's addresses seems unnecessary and clearly undesirable. Any of the Marcy statutes that does so ought to be modified
For instance, instead of exercising its authority to provide and exercise enforcement of address-specific "forbidden zones", the government ought to simply draw an area on the map with irregular boundaries that would not suggest the address and make that area a zone forbidden to the convict.
