I am proud to have sponsored legislation requiring sex traffickers to register as sex offenders in Pennsylvania under our stateโs Meganโs Law.
It was signed into law today as Act 144 of 2022.
This will offer one more resource to reduce such heinous acts, and I hope other states will follow.
We must serve as advocates for these victims. โค
