Their only worry should be what flavor to order....

Not who’s behind the wheel
Michael Benedetto knows sex offenders should not operate ice cream trucks

There is nothing more tempting to children of all ages than the sound of an ice cream truck coming down the street. Assemblyman Benedetto believes that moments like this should be a protected rite of childhood. That’s why he supported legislation that prohibits sexual predators from driving ice cream trucks and other vehicles where the job brings them into close contact with children (A.2550, awaiting governor’s signature).

Did you know...

There are
10
sexual predators registered in the 82nd Assembly District.

Dear Friend:

I believe that no crime is more heinous than one that robs children of their innocence. When the safety of our children is at stake, we must do all we can to protect them. That’s why I have been working in the Assembly to pass tougher measures against sex predators.

This past session, the Assembly and Senate passed a series of measures to protect our communities - from prohibiting sex offenders from living near schools to banning them from receiving sexual performance-enhancing drugs. We are working together to create the safest environment for our kids. We also introduced a series of new measures which allow satellite tracking of paroled sex offenders, enables lifetime registration for criminals and strengthens Megan’s Law. Simply put, we are working to create the best laws possible to guard against sexual predators.

But there is much more to be done. I will continue to support new measures that will bring us closer to our goal of keeping sexual predators off our streets and away from our children. Rest assured, I will continue to make the safety of our children a top priority in the Assembly.
Sincerely,

Member of Assembly
