Sen. Janae Shamp is on a mission for 2026.
The Arizona legislator said she wants to “make pedophiles’ lives hell” and is not backing off.
“There are many different layers to how sex offenders are processed,” Shamp, R-Surprise, told The Center Square. “There's things that happen pretrial. There's plea deals that are made. Probation gets involved, and then once probation comes into it, what level of sex offender they are is then generated. So I've been working to make sure that everyone that is a sex offender, whether they're level 1, 2, or 3, are actually on the registry.”
The state senator has also been working to ensure that if someone commits a dangerous crime against a child, he or she will be punished.
In recent legislative sessions, Shamp was successful in getting several major child protection bills signed into law. These include Senate Bills 1232, 1236 and 1404.
SB 1232 classifies sexual conduct with a minor 12 or younger resulting in serious physical injury as a Class 1 felony, punishable by natural life imprisonment.
