6-8-2010 Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania State Police are upgrading their computer system to meet stricter federal requirements for sex offenders to register their residences.
States are required to implement the upgraded tracking systems under the federal Adam Walsh Act by July 2011.
Pennsylvania was one of five states selected to receive financial help from the federal Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking in Washington.
The other states are Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi and North Carolina.
State police Lt. Douglas Grimes, head of the Megan's law unit, said the plans are to wait until the new system is complete to pass legislation required to implement the changes.
"There will need to be legislation," he said. "You do not want to pass the legislation until you have all of the technical pieces ready."
Grimes said Pennsylvania is hoping to interface the new system with the statewide criminal history system. ..Source.. by Reading Eagle

The problem I have with this is that the State Police are now assuming that laws will be written to cover what they are now doing with the computor system to run the SOR. Since when do the police write laws or do something before a law is written to let them do it?
