Mr. Speaker, today I am presenting an e-petition with over 800 signatures on a very serious subject, which is cases involving high-risk federal offenders convicted of intimate partner violence. The petitioners ask that they would have to wear an active GPS electronic monitoring system, including either geofencing or exclusion zone enforcement where appropriate, which would provide a more effective means of supervising compliance with release conditions and enhancing victim safety.
I have heard about this over and over again from my constituents, and I know everyone sitting here today also has. I hope this will bring notice to the fact that people need to feel safe. They should not have to sign a petition like this, but it is extremely necessary, and I am proud to present this today.
