Moving Companies Be-Aware
If you are like most busy professionals it’s difficult to keep up with all the daily events happening in the news. More importantly, the NEW LAWS put in place will affect moving companies throughout Florida.
June 9, 2017, Governor Rick Scott signed a few bills that will be important to the state of Florida. The Governors crack down on sex offenders. The Florida Times Union reports, this law will go into effect immediately its intention is
“that this bill will keep the most violent sexual offenders locked up longer and close loopholes in a law that allows the state to send predators to a high-security treatment center even after they’ve finished their prison sentences.”
Moving Companies Have Until October 1st
By October 1st, all Moving companies will have to identify a sex offender on their crew to the homeowner or client they intend on moving. When a mover comes to your house, do you know who you’re inviting in? This should be a warning to all consumers for whatever business workers you have in your home not just moving companies. Take a look at this news story from NBC-2. Some people think it’s hard enough for sexual predators to find work and this is a setback to their rights.
