Speaking from the audience, Senator Jesse Kiehl discussed a series of crime bills proposed by Governor Mike Dunleavy released February 8.
These bills include protections for victims of sex trafficking, registration of sex offenders from out-of-state, and penalties for manufacturers and distributors of controlled substances that lead to overdose deaths.
“I served over the interim as the senate’s member of the governor’s task force on human and sex trafficking,” Kiehl said, “and at least one of those pieces of legislation was recommended by that task force to deal with people who are trafficked in our state for work, for labor and not paid, and the laws are not followed, and much more disturbingly, people who are trafficked for sex.”
