The House unanimously passed Rep. Abraham Hamadeh’s Kayleigh’s Law, which would require lifetime no-contact orders for people convicted of certain federal crimes. The measure now goes to the Senate, where Sen. Mike Lee is leading efforts to advance it.
Rep. Abraham Hamadeh said the bill would require courts to issue lifetime no-contact injunctions for people convicted of federal sex crimes and violent felonies. The article reports that the House passed the measure unanimously and that it now heads to the Senate. Hamadeh said the law is intended to prevent survivors from being repeatedly brought back to court by their abusers.
The bill is named after Kayleigh Kozak, who said she had to return to court when her abuser sought to end a no-contact protection. Hamadeh credited Kozak’s experience with motivating the legislation and said it would apply only after a conviction. According to Hamadeh, Sen. Mike Lee is leading the effort to move the measure forward in the Senate.
