As a concerned California constituent, I urge your support for Senate Bill 14 (Grove), which I am a co-author on.
Shockingly, the sex trafficking of a minor is not listed as a serious crime under California law.
I introduced a similar bill last session, AB 1665, and it was killed in its first committee.
This year, the bill was initially killed in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. However, after hearing YOUR outrage, the Assembly called for a special hearing where it was taken up again and moved forward in the process.
Thank you for taking action!
Now it is time for it to be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, and we NEED it to advance so it can be brought to a floor vote in the Assembly.
You can help by SIGNING THIS PETITION in support of SB 14 and stand up against human trafficking.
This bill is a pivotal step to hold repeat traffickers accountable and protect our children.
Human trafficking severely violates innocent children, causing immeasurable suffering for victims and their families.
Sadly, our state ranks among the top in the nation for this crime. SB 14, reclassifies sex trafficking of a minor as a serious felony, a strike offense under California law.
I firmly believe SB 14 is critical in combating human trafficking and will send a strong message that California stands strong in protecting our children.
Thank you for supporting this important legislation.
