1) feelinglikealeper by Anonymous Citizen on July 18, 2006I agree. I was charged with a csc4 and plead to a csc4 attempt. I was not told all of the consequences and resprictions that would be imposed on me. I was wrong for what I thought and almost did. However I never have forced or threatend anyone in my life and I am now put in a class of dangerous people althoug I have demonstrated that I am not a dangerous individual. I am 58 and broke the law for the first time in my life. I feel like I am on probation for 25 years and in essence that is what it is. If I fail to register I am going to prison even though I have almost completed my therapy and probation. Somthing needs to be done about this registry for 4th degree, please.

Rep. Clack, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I prefer to wait until all issues of how reporting of offenders via e-mail are conformed. The bill is a working progress. I do not want any person who is not an offender to be on the list."

Rep. Kathleen Law, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted 'no' on SB128 because the electronic notification of sex offender registry is prone to error. On more than one occasion a person or address has been identified as an offender, be it sexual, drug, or criminal, only to be found innocent after suffering abuse and harassment from neighbors."
