Governor signs bill that supports sex abuse victims’ rights

The two Camas sisters who inspired 18th District Sen. Ann Rivers to introduce Senate Bill 6069 were on-hand for the recent bill signing.

As part of the bill, effective June 12 victims will be able to request notice from the state Department of Corrections when a specific sex offender is released or transferred. They can also request that the offender refrain from contacting the victim and/or immediate family members.
