FT 30.3 - Restorative Justice Enablement Act

[Senator Spark]

Restorative Justice is essential for moving forward after an offense is committed. Restorative Justice will also lead to a more positive philosophy regarding punishment. Mass incarceration is a large problem and this is one of the first steps toward addressing it. This bill also provides for essential notifications for victims regarding their offenders. It is imperative that we keep people safe.

I am open to any suggestions on this legislation.

[Senator Spark]

Criminal justice is kind of one of those areas where there's unanimous agreement. We demilitarized the police. George Floyd was announced by the then-GM to be alive. I just don't really understand what's different about this bill than the reforms we've already passed.

This bill focuses more on the victims especially in cases of domestic violence or abuse.
