Topeka ? The Kansas House has approved legislation that clarifies the state law on habitual child sex offenders.

Monday’s 119-0 vote sends the bill to the Senate.

The bill revises the statute known as Jessica’s Law, which imposes stricter penalties for sex crimes against children younger than 14. The new language clarifies that a person convicted of multiple Jessica’s Law offenses during a single trial can be classified as a “habitual offender.”

The sentence for such convictions is mandatory life in prison without parole.

In bill also adds attempted or actual criminal solicitation of a child to the list of crimes that qualify for the sentence.

The changes were in response to recent Kansas Supreme Court rulings on applying Jessica’s Law.
