Introduced
by
To prohibit those convicted of serious sex offenses from using social networking web sites (like MySpace.com).
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-3) be adopted and that the bill then pass. This would narrow the scope of the bill to only apply to those convicted of sex crimes with children, or who used the Internet as part of their crime.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that prohibits a person on the state's sex crime registry who had used a computer to commit his offense from using a social networking web site. If the offense did not include the use of a computer, the person could not directly contact an individual whom he knew or had reason to believe was under 18 by means of a social networking web site.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To require the state police to develop or find, and distribute to schools, materials that inform children, parents, and teachers about how to identify, avoid, and deal with potential threats to a child's safety posed by the Internet.
