Yesterday we told you about Deane and Heather Tipton, the parents of six year old Logan Tipton, who was stabbed to death in the family's home back in 2015.

Now, the symptoms are working hand-in-hand with lawmakers to pass Logan's law, a measure cracking down on the sentencing and release of violent offenders like Logan's killer.

Our Emily Sisk is back and has more with the Tipton family.

The last time I was in this capital, I was in elementary school.

These days, the Tipton family is no stranger to the capital or to state lawmakers.

That's because they've been fighting for action after their six year old child, Logan, was stabbed to death back in 2015.

He had a big heart.

He loved his family.

And, he was too good for this world.

Last fall, Logan's killer, Ronald Santos, was released early through Kentucky's mandatory reentry supervision program after he served less than half of his 20 year sentence.

His early release sparked public outrage, including at the national level, with U.S.

Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt posting on ex that the white House was looking into Santos's release.

At that point, ten years after Logan's brutal killing, state lawmakers talked with the Tipton about the idea for Logan's Ball.

When people see that a man murdered is brutally murdered, my son, he's me one last time and hope Logan was alive.

Logan was six years.

He barely spent more time in prison than Logan did, and I think it infuriated the nation and infuriated everybody and went for counting on us.

And I think it was this had to happen in order for this law to be saved and know this is the right thing to do.

And what are the conditions of Logan's law?

The bill has several parts, namely, it removes the not guilty by reason of insanity defense while keeping a mentally ill but guilty verdict.

It also tightens up the mandatory reentry supervision program, making offenders of a class B felony ineligible.

Representative TJ Roberts also said if a parole board unanimously votes against an inmate's release under mandatory reentry supervision, that release will be impossible.

Governor Andy Beshear insisted last year the parole board was not to blame for his early release, having voted unanimously against it multiple times.

Parole board members faced death threats over Santos's release, but it was a current state law that required the Department of Corrections to release him on mandatory reentry supervision.

If the parole board is not comfortable with you living in their community.

The people of Kentucky should not have to live with you in their community.

And for Logan's mother, who sometimes still sets a plate for Logan at the dinner table, she hopes because of their advocacy, no other Kentucky families will have to experience the same pain.

If we can help just one other person, then maybe Logan's death was a good thing.

Nobody deserves to feel the way we have felt over the past ten years.

House Bill four, 22, currently has more than 60 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle.

Sponsoring Representative Dan Pfister said he's confident the legislation will continue to gain bipartisan support.

In Frankfort for Kentucky edition.

I'm Emily Sisk.

Thank you Emily.

Representative Forster says he does hope to get the bill in front of the House Judiciary Committee next week.
