More Restrictive Sex Offender Bill Signed Into Law

      Governor Braun has signed a bill tightening rules on where sex offenders can move.
      The bill, written by Republican Representative Ben Smaltz of Auburn, requires judges to review family ties, housing, and job access before allowing a move to a new county.
      A judge in that county must also approve the relocation so law enforcement stays informed.
      Smaltz says the law is designed to better protect Hoosier communities.
