Hill Watching, May 14th, 2008 - Anti-Internet Crime & Life-in-Prison for Child Rape

Not much to offer in terms of interesting Senate bills introduced yesterday, but here is one to provide more funding for internet crime prevention:

By Mr. KERRY (for himself, Ms. MURKOWSKI, Mr. WHITEHOUSE, Mr. COLEMAN, and Mr. LIEBERMAN):
S. 3016. A bill to direct the Attorney General to provide grants for Internet Crime prevention education programs; to the Committee on the Judiciary. Source: GOP [S4182]


In the House, a bill to strongly penalize anyone who rapes a child - hard not to agree with sending child rapists away for life:

By Mr. REICHERT:
H.R. 6050. A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to provide mandatory imprisonment for life for persons raping young children; to the Committee on the Judiciary. Source: GPO [H3884]
