Bill that would create stricter laws for child molesters passes House 

 

State Rep. Mary Kay Budak said House Bill 1155, which creates stricter laws for child molesters, has passed the House of Representatives by a 97-0 vote.

 

Under the bill, a person who is at least 18 when committing child molesting and is convicted, must be placed on lifetime parole and be required to wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring device. The legislation also includes provisions regarding conditions of residence for lifetime parolees, violation of parole and other supervisions.

 

The bill also requires a parole board to require parolees who are sex and violent offenders to wear a GPS monitoring device. In addition, it prohibits a person on parole for child molesting from living within 1,000 feet of certain facilities.

 

If a parolee violates probation, it becomes a felony and specifies a person convicted of child molesting in another state whose parole is transferred to Indiana is require to be placed on lifetime parole.

The GPS technology will be so small that it isn't like wearing a scarlet letter. By the way, we had a similar law for adult establishments that prevented them being opened within 1,600 feet of Churches, Schools, Licensed Day Care Facilities, and one or two other types of places. Turns out there is no point in the city that isn't within 1,600 feet of one of those places When I first saw 1,600 I knew what someone must of had up their sleeve, I was just thinking there was a specific location they were trying to avoid, then I saw it was the whole city and LMAO.
