TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)-- Some Florida lawmakers are trying to reform sex offense laws this legislative session.
Representative Dane Eagle of Cape Coral jumped on board after an investigation suggested the state mishandled hundreds of sex offense cases and allowed convicted offenders to find new victims. House and Senate panels passed a handful of correlating bills last week that would keep sex offenders behind bars longer, require them to provide more personal information after they are released and notify victims when they are released.
The legislative session begins on March 4.
