Lawmakers approve crime bill with child safety measures
Lawmakers expand sex offense terms involving children and repeat crimes. The bill requires offenders to list all addresses, contact numbers, and vehicle details to the State Police and imposes jail terms for false reports. Post release supervision lasts at least 10 years with electronic monitoring and polygraph tests. Convicted offenders cannot reside or work within 1000 feet of schools or victims. The measure aims to detain violent predators after prison and creates an 11 member task force to study the issue with a report due by July 2007. Additional funding boosts include highway repairs and 11 million from general revenue, plus various state program allocations.
