4-10-2008 Maine:
AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine Senate has given initial approval to a bill making changes in the state's sex offender registry.
The changes address concerns raised after two men listed in the registry were murdered in 2006.
The bill says those who offended from 1982 to 1992 and have not re-offended or have a prior history of offenses can be removed from the registry. It also changes the definition of lifetime registrant so it applies prospectively from 2005.
In addition, the bill makes changes to address flaws raised by the state supreme court last year. The bill faces further votes. ..more.. by AP
