Child protection legislation
Yesterday, The Oregon House approved HB3511 by a 54-6 vote. That bill would triple the minimum prison sentence for adults convicted of rape, sodomy, sexual penetration or kidnapping of a child 11 or younger, from eight years and four months to 25 years, plus post-prison supervision for life. The Senate approved the bill by a 30-0 vote. Gov. Ted Kulongoski is expected to sign the legislation into law this month.
