substantial risk to our commun ity. These offenders, by nature, victimize the unsuspecting and the young. It is
in their nature to re-offend. The Florida Legislature passed th e Florida Public Safety Act (Senate Bill 958, Ch.
97-299, Laws of Florida), to simplify sexual predator community notification standards, to expand registration
obligations to sexual offenders as well as sexual predators, to revitalize general felon registration, and improve
the safety and well-being of our citizens and visitors.
