Rep. Fry Introduces Logan's Law to Create Public Database of Violent Criminals
Logan's Law was recently introduced in the House and is currently waiting for review by the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill is actively moving through the early stages of the legislative process. No further actions are scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While public safety is a popular topic, this bill currently only has Republican support and may face pushback over privacy concerns and state funding penalties.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
People with violent crime convictions would have their full records, including personal details like address, race, nationality, and citizenship status, posted in a free public database. This could make it significantly harder for them to find housing, jobs, and reintegrate into society, even years after serving their sentences. The database would follow them permanently unless their conviction is expunged or pardoned.
“the Database is searchable by-- (A) name; (B) address; (C) date of birth; (D) sex; (E) race; (F) nationality; (G) citizenship status; (H) type of conviction;”
