AZ: HB 2413 (Nguyen) Mandating Electronic Monitoring for Homeless Sex Offenders Clears Judiciary Committee

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Legislation sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Quang Nguyen to strengthen monitoring of registered sex offenders was approved today by the House
Judiciary Committee.

House Bill 2413 requires courts to place any registered sex offender who does not have a permanent
address on global positioning system or electronic monitoring until a residence is established. The bill
closes a serious gap in current law by ensuring offenders who cannot be reliably located are continuously
monitored, strengthening accountability and protecting Arizona communities.

Under existing statute, sex offenders without a fixed residence may register as transients and update their
status periodically. HB 2413 corrects that weakness by requiring continuous electronic monitoring and
directing the Department of Public Safety to actively maintain and oversee compliance.

“Public safety in Arizona is not negotiable,” Chairman Nguyen said. “If a registered sex offender
cannot tell authorities where they live, the public should not be left guessing where they are. This
bill puts accountability first and gives law enforcement the tools they need to track offenders who
would otherwise be difficult to locate.”

HB 2413 advances the House Republican Majority Plan’s public safety pillar by enforcing the rule of
law and prioritizing the safety of Arizona families and neighborhoods. House Republicans have made
clear that protecting communities requires firm enforcement, clear standards, and consequences that are
enforced.

“the public should not be left guessing where they are”

So now we’re referred to as “they.”

“They, them and those people”.

Sounds like a straight-to-video romcom from 2010.

“gives law enforcement the tools they need to track [people]”

How many times have we heard that copy & paste garbage?
Law enforcement does NOT need to “track” people with a sex offense JFK..

And just where are they supposed to charge their gps devices if they are homeless?
These legislators just keep incessantly promoting the lie that People Forced to Register (PFR) are dangerous.
