Rep. Luckie proposes bill to monitor sex offenders
Rep. Clayton Luckie has introduced legislation to require GPS monitors for sex offenders who do not have permanent addresses, Luckie, D-Dayton, announced on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
House Bill 369 would apply to all Tier 3 sex offenders, considered the most violent, and require them to wear a global positioning device until they have a fixed address.
“This bill will allow law enforcement to keep better track of sex offenders,” Luckie said in a press release. “We cannot lose track of these offenders just because they are homeless. Using GPS to monitor their whereabouts is necessary to protect the citizens of Ohio.”
Luckie said that the attack of a nurse outside of Miami Valley Hospital by a sexual predator who was living under a railroad bridge near Patterson Boulevard underscored the need for the legislation.
