Bill limiting convicted sex offenders' use of social network sites breezes out of committee NOLA.com
"BATON ROUGE -- A House committee Thursday took the first step toward enacting a law that would prohibit convicted child sex predators from using instant messaging devices or social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook.
The Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice gave unanimous support to House Bill 55 by Rep. Ledricka Thierry, D-Opelousas, after amending the measure. The bill now heads to the full House for debate.
Thierry's bill would make it a crime for convicted sex offenders to use the websites or chat rooms if they have to register as sex offenders and have been convicted of an offense in which the victim was a minor."
