Rep. Muscarello’s HB 102 increases the time certain violent offenders have to wait to request a rehearing from 2 years to 4 years. This gives victims and survivors a reprieve! #lalege

[Morgan Lamandre @MorganLamandre]

Thank you @BethMizell and @TAPressly for authoring these two important bills! Also, thank you to the @LAHospitals for working with @staradvocates on the bills. #LaLege
