Bill to Send Child Traffickers to Prison for Life Blocked by Assembly Committee
July 12, 2023 | California
The California Assembly committee on public safety blocked a bill that would increase the charges for human trafficking.
The Golden State lower house committee considered Senate Bill 14, which would make the human trafficking of children a “serious felony.” Serious felony charges under California law currently include murder, rape, and any other crime which may incur the death penalty or life sentence in state prison.
However, instead of upping the ante on child traffickers, the California Assembly Public Safety Committee nuked the measure on Tuesday. (Excerpt from Fox News.)
