Proposed Florida Law Would Enforce a Minimum 25 Year Sentence for Sex Offenders

In the southeastern state of Florida, lawmakers have approved tough new legislation to enforce minimum 25-year sentences on sex offenders and monitor them for life. Florida governor Jeb Bush is expected to sign it into law.
Every state in the United States has some form of sex offender registry, which tracks the whereabouts of people who have been convicted and released. There are an estimated 380,000 registered sex offenders in the U.S. But thousands of them have disappeared, possible endangering communities.
