Ms. Pou sponsored a law that broadened the definition of human trafficking and increased penalties.

She sponsored 2015 laws reforming the juvenile justice system and expanding the geographic scope of restraining orders. Among their various provisions, the prior limited circumstances when young offenders can be waived up to the adult court system or transferred to adult prisons, and the latter added new protections for victims of sexual assault and created a central registry of protective orders accessible to police and child protection officers. A 2016 law sponsored by the senator creates an educational program for drivers on carbon monoxide poisoning.
