Statement from Rep. Jim Davis on the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act

 

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, H.R. 4472, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 was signed into law.  Congressman Jim Davis released the following statement in support of the bill:

 

“Twenty-five years after a child predator brutally murdered young Adam Walsh, of Hollywood, the Federal government has finally taken steps to ensure that all sex offenders will be tracked nationwide, and that those who prey on our children face tough penalties.” 

 

“Adam’s parents, and the families of many other victims, have pushed tirelessly for new state and federal laws to ensure that what happened to their children will not happen to others.  Today, I thank them for their efforts.  The comprehensive child protection legislation signed today will make America safer for all of our children.”
