Washington State is considering GPS devices too

Washington State is considering using GPS to track sex offenders, and is currently doing a trial run to test the feasibility of such a system. They expect the offenders to pay for the cost of the devices. If some legislators have their way, all convicted sex offenders will be required to wear the GPS devices. So not only would you be registering, you would be wearing the GPS devices. It is part of a current trend to track sex offenders, because they feel that they don't know where all the sex offenders are.

I would go along with the idea only if all my state legislators would be required to wear the GPS devices too.

<blockquote><span class="mb-quote"> wonder what the proposed legislation says about who will foot the bill for the GPS device and all of the costs related to monitoring it.</span></blockquote>

This is what it says:
New Section 1. (a) Except for offenders defined under the provisions
of subsections (a)(4)(C), (a)(5), (a)(7), (a)(8), (c)(2), (c)(11), (c)(13, (c)(14) and (d) of K.S.A. 22-4902, and amendments thereto, any person required to register as an offender under K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall also be required to: (1) Attach to and display on any motor vehicle operated by such person a symbol or other device indicating that the person is a registered offender under K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq., and amendments thereto. The symbol or other device shall be attached to the front and rear bumper of any such motor vehicle; or
(2) be monitored by a global positioning systems unit. Such unit shall continuously track and provide data on the person’s movement. <blockquote><span class="mb-quote">Such unit shall be provided at the expense of the person.</span></blockquote>
