tuesday. human trafficking is an issue that continues to plague california. now, several bipartisan state lawmakers have a bill that they're backing that they argue we'll protect victims and get traffickers off the streets. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace explains. it's about justice for the victims. that's what republican state senator shannon grove says is the driving force behind her bill to change state law. classifies human trafficking. >> known as senate bill 14 if signed into law, it would to find human trafficking is a serious and violent felony and would included as a strike into the california 3 strikes law that could lead to an increase in jail time for convicted human traffickers. >> the bottom line is, is that when you commit these types of crimes against women and children, lgbt trans kids, indeed it is. indians are foster care kids. and when you take these individuals that are most vulnerable members of our society and you traffic at them for exploitation for your

personal financial gain against their will. you should go to prison for a long period of time and there should be no reductions in sentence for you as a perpetrator. last year, senator grove introduced a similar bill, but it did not make it out. >> of committee at the time, opponents argued increased jail time is not the answer. they're not being trafficked. >> because the sentence isn't harsh enough. they're not being trafficked because it's not a strike because the person is only getting 12 or 20 years in prison and set of life in prison. they're getting traffic because what society has done to them. but this time around grove says the bill has a much broader bipartisan coalition. supporters include democratic senator steve glazer who said in part human trafficking should be treated as the serious and violent crime that it is and not as some minor offense. his democratic colleague, senator susan rubio, maria alvarado gill agree they are partnering with each other and with growth to support their own bipartisan piece of legislation including over auto gills proposal to

classify rape of an unconscious person as a violent felony. current california law classifies rape is a violent felony when committed against a person's will by means of force or violence. but it does not address situations when the victim is unconscious or unable to give consent the simple act of not being able to say no, because you were unconscious or intoxicated and dragged. >> creates this this great space and should be no gray space when it comes to break. it is a violent period. we've all signed on to each other spills and we're hoping that this looks like through the senate and the assembly and we can put it on the governor's desk. a goal this group hopes will become reality this year at the state capitol. wallace kron. 4 news. >> a new nationwide study released by smart asset ranks 3 bay area cities in the top. 25 for safest u.s. cities and take a look at the whole list there. sunnyvale was highest in the bay area at number 9. fremont number 19 and san jose also made the list at number. 24, the company looked at 200 american cities focusing on
