Let's Try and figure out HR 3132 Shall We. Ok they have taken parts of the following Bills (That were up for voting themselves) and added them to HR 3132. Children's Safety Act of 2005 - Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act - Requires: (1) each state, territory, and federally recognized Indian tribe to maintain a sex offender registry; and (2) each sex offender to register in the jurisdictions where the offender resides, is an employee, and is a student. Requires the Attorney General to: (1) maintain a National Sex Offender Registry at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); (2) establish a Sex Offender Management Assistance program; and (3) authorize sex offender apprehension grants.
DNA Fingerprinting Act of 2005 - Amends: (1) the DNA Identification Act of 1994 to expand the scope of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) samples to be included in the Combined DNA Index System; and (2) the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 to authorize the Attorney General to collect DNA samples from individuals who are arrested or detained under U.S. authority. Prevention and Deterrence of Crimes Against Children Act of 2005 - Increases penalties for violent crimes against persons under age 18, including death or life imprisonment if the crime results in the death of a person under that age.
Protection Against Sexual Exploitation of Children Act of 2005 - Increases penalties for sexual offenses against children.
Foster Child Protection and Child Sexual Predator Sentencing Act of 2005 - Requires background checks and checks of national crime information databases and state child abuse registries before approval of foster or adoptive placements. Establishes: (1) procedures for the civil commitment of sexually dangerous persons; and (2) mandatory minimum penalties for child sex trafficking. Now since only parts are being used the rest of those Bills will be useless and tossed out. So why bother even keeping them in the line up for voting? And why in the world make more?
There is now a Jessica Lunsford/Sarah Lunde act. Wait isn't HR 1505 the Jessica Lunsford act? What is going on? Not to mention the approx. 35 amendments to HR 3132 that change the Bill completely. I smell a Political Rat!!
Can anyone explain this to us? The floor for Debate is OPEN.
