Closed Require individuals proselytizing to display proof of criminal record check

Closed on

All adults should be required to display proof of a criminal record check first if they knock at a private residence or have interaction with minors while proselytizing.

We believe that there is a lack of accountability and safeguarding regarding individuals engaged in proselytizing. While these individuals have absolute rights to practice their beliefs, we as citizens of this nation also have a right and a duty to protect the most vulnerable amongst us. We believe requiring individuals proselytizing to display proof of criminal record check will help protect the public from offenders.
