Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks Thursday with Chelsea’s parents, Kelly and Brent King after signing Chelsea’s Law at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.
Chelsea’s Law was authored by California Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher in partnership with the
Kings, and sponsored by Chelsea’s Light Foundation.
The new law will increase penalties for sex crimes against children, enact a one-strike provision for violent sexual offenders, expand GPS monitoring and establish “Safe Zones” to prevent paroled offenders from loitering in parks and other public areas where children congregate.
