Vice Mayor Courtney Shipley, who initially brought up the idea, said that she did so after a member of the public told her that the city of Roeland Park in Johnson County had passed such an ordinance and wanted to know if Lawrence could do the same.
Shipley said once she realized it was something the city could do, she thought it was important to bring forward.
“It’s the least we could do, but I think it’s important,” Shipley said. “And I hope at the very least it sends a message that our community wants to protect vulnerable children.”
