Democratic lawmakers in California<\/a> revived a stalled child trafficking bill Thursday following public pressure after they initially chose not to advance the legislation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bill, Senate Bill 14, would increase penalties for child traffickers and would add the crime to the list of serious felonies in California, FOX Los Angeles<\/a> reported. Anyone convicted of at least three serious felonies would face a prison sentence of between 25 years to life.<\/p>\n

CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE BLOCKS BILL THAT COULD HAVE SENT HUMAN TRAFFICKERS OF KIDS TO PRISON FOR LIFE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Democrats on the state Assembly Public Safety Committee chose not to advance the bill, because they opposed longer prison sentences, arguing it isn’t a deterrent to crime. Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> publicly supported the bill, introduced by Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove, prompting Democrats to change course after he went against the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the committee advanced the bill with no amendments. In a brief meeting, four Democrats<\/a> \u2014 including chair Reggie Jones-Sawyer \u2014 joined Republicans to advance the bill out of the committee ahead of a legislative deadline.<\/p>\n

Assemblymember Liz Ortega on Thursday said she “made a bad decision” to vote against the bill earlier in the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Voting against legislation targeting really bad people who traffic children was wrong,” she tweeted. “I regret doing that and I am going to help get this important legislation passed into law.”<\/p>\n

The legislation will be vetted by the Appropriations Committee before heading to vote on the Assembly floor. Jones-Sawyer said he will ask for amendments to make sure victims of child trafficking<\/a> are not penalized and that the legislation doesn\u2019t disproportionately affect people of color.<\/p>\n

“We shouldn\u2019t be playing politics. We should be coming together \u2014 together \u2014 to move this forward so that everybody is safe,” Jones-Sawyer told reporters after the hearing. “I\u2019m going to make a commitment to do everything in my power to get it on the governor\u2019s desk, so he can sign it.”<\/p>\n
