Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed five new laws Wednesday to intensify penalties and strengthen enforcement against those who prey upon minors and participate in sex trafficking.

According to the governor’s office, HB 1545 bars adults from “pattern(s) of communication” with minors involving “explicit and detailed verbal descriptions of sexual activity,” strengthens penalties for child porn possession, promoting underage sexual performances, and similar crimes, and making both categories of offenses third-degree felonies.

HB 1131 creates an Online Sting Operations Grant Program within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that provides for annual funding of sting operations and the necessary equipment to track and capture child predators over the internet.

HB 1235 tightens standards for the state sex offender registry, including preventing offenders from evading registration via temporary residences, requiring them to register any vehicles they may possess as living quarters and to give advance notice of any international travel, and strengthens the conditions necessary to be removed from the registry.

I fully expected this article would have been posted by backy in one of his many rants against Rhonda.

Not this time.

I’d vote for DeSantis in 2028, if elections are still legal.

Please save your (not you, personally) anti-Ron comments for someone who gives a Shiite. Your DeDS comments mean nothing to me.

Yeah, I read through the legislation and it seems like there was nothing to cover sex offenders who live in temporary residences or their vehicle.

This new legislation filled in the gaps.

How long has this guy been in office? To busy running for President at the time, I guess. Who is advising this guy.
Not ready for Primetime.

I'm trying to enjoy an adult beverage here. Yet that revised screen name does not allow.

The article doesn't say it is making it "illegal" again - it says the following:

*new laws to crack down on groomers, sex traffickers in Florida*

According to the governor’s office, HB 1545 bars adults from “pattern(s) of communication” with minors involving “explicit and detailed verbal descriptions of sexual activity,” strengthens penalties for child porn possession, promoting underage sexual performances, and similar crimes, and making both categories of offenses third-degree felonies.

HB 1131 creates an Online Sting Operations Grant Program within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that provides for annual funding of sting operations and the necessary equipment to track and capture child predators over the internet.

HB 1235 tightens standards for the state sex offender registry, including preventing offenders from evading registration via temporary residences, requiring them to register any vehicles they may possess as living quarters and to give advance notice of any international travel, and strengthens the conditions necessary to be removed from the registry.
