12/14/07-A bill in the House that would force all habitual and child-oriented sex offenders to display fluorescent green license plates for at least five years after their release from prison will have to wait until next year to find out if it will become law.
Sponsored by Rep. Michael DeBose, D-Cleveland, HB83 would require the plates for any personal or commercial vehicle owned by the offender. The rule would not be retroactive for all sex offenders.
The bill remained in the House Criminal Justice Committee when the first year of the two-year session wrapped up Dec. 12. It can be brought back for consideration during the 2008 session that begins Jan. 2.
