SAN DIEGO—Two local state senators have co-authored a bipartisan bill introduced on Jan. 11 that would prevent the state from placing sexually violent predators in unsuspecting communities.
Sen. Brian Jones (R-Santee) and Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego), along with Assemblyman Jim Cooper, D-Elk Grove, wrote the Sexually Violent Predator Accountability, Fairness, and Enforcement (SAFE) Act following high-profile incidents of California’s state hospitals attempting to place sexually violent predators in East and North San Diego County.
