"This is a strongly worded case," Horne said. "The department of corrections needs to be notified about the proper application of the law and the legislative intent. When we said mandatory prison, it did not mean house arrest." Horne said it’s time for lawmakers to review the issue and see if there is any way to make the attorney general’s office force the corrections department to follow the law as outlined by the Supreme Court.

Panel OKs bill aimed at protecting children - Measure makes soliciting kids for prostitution a felony
Las Vegas Review Journal – April 10, 2009

CARSON CITY – Assembly Bill 238, approved by the Assembly Corrections, Parole and Probation Committee, would go after the clients of minor prostitutes, and would require that a person who intentionally seeks to hire a child prostitute be subject to lifetime supervision.

“We’re trying to get to the 'johns,' and the 'johns' are going after the kids,” said Assemblyman William Horne, D-Las Vegas, the committee chairman and chief sponsor of AB238. “And they were getting slapped on the hand for misdemeanors.”

LAS VEGAS – “Metro Police have wasted no time enforcing a new law that went into effect July 1 that increases certain domestic violence penalties.

… Assemblyman William Horne, D-Las Vegas, chief sponsor of the bill, said he was approached by the attorney general to introduce the enhanced punishment under domestic violence statutes.”

“…legislators made no move during the hearing to do away with minimum or enhanced sentences and expressed support for victims of crime. Members met June 8 to draw up bills to present at the 2007 Legislature.

"I assure you there is not a member here who is not concerned about victims," said Assemblyman William Horne, D-Las Vegas. "No one is advocating that minimum sentences be done away with."”
