Kentucky Legislative Panel Approves Measure to Add Online Identities to Sex Offender Registry

Could be the first law of its kind in the nation.

In the Kentucky Senate, a bill that would require registered sex offenders to list their online identities on the state registry that already contains their names and addresses was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday.

Senate Bill 65 covers e-mail addresses, instant message screen names, and any online identities used by registered sex offenders. If approved, SB 65 could be the first law of its kind in the nation.
