Bill 118 hr 6382, also known as the Stop Sexually Violent Predators Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to address the issue of sexually violent predators and provide additional protections for potential victims.
The bill proposes several key provisions, including the establishment of a national registry for sexually violent predators. This registry would be maintained by the Department of Justice and would require individuals convicted of certain sex crimes to register their information, including their name, address, and criminal history. This information would be made available to law enforcement agencies and the public to help track and monitor these individuals.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for increased penalties for sexually violent predators, including mandatory minimum sentences for certain offenses. It also calls for increased funding for programs aimed at preventing sexual violence and providing support for victims.
Overall, the Stop Sexually Violent Predators Act aims to strengthen laws and resources to better protect the public from individuals who have committed serious sex crimes. It is currently being debated in Congress, with supporters arguing that it is necessary to address this important issue, while opponents raise concerns about potential privacy issues and the effectiveness of such measures.
