So I'm going to sign a series of bills that are going to make Florida remain as the number one state in the country for the protection of our kids. First, HB 777 strengthens Florida's laws against luring or enticing children by expanding the definition of the crime, increasing penalties and eliminating certain defenses based on a child's misrepresented or mistaken age. I'm also signing HB 1351, which strengthens registration, reporting and verification requirements for sexual predators and offenders in Florida. The bill also enhances accountability and improves law enforcement monitoring of offenders location and employment activities. (11:19–11:39)
