Sex offender registration bill endorsed by House panel

A bill endorsed Friday by the House Judiciary Committee would require sex offenders to register in person with law enforcement.

Registration by mail every six months is the current requirement under the law.

Rep. Justin Harris, R-West Fork, is sponsoring House Bill 1007, saying it would save $70,000 a year in postage to notify offenders when it's time to renew registration.

HB 1007 now goes to the House.
