Bill to require sex offenders to register computers, e-mails advances through Ark. committee

Does this really imply or suggest that, cybercrimes are ONLY committed by former sex offenders? What about all other criminal types?
2-3-2011 Arkansas:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A bill to require sex offenders register their e-mail addresses, user names and computers has passed out of an Arkansas legislative committee and goes to the state House for a vote.

The bill by Democratic Rep. Tiffany Rogers of Stuttgart cleared the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. It would require sex offenders subject to lifetime registration to report all e-mail addresses, user names and screen names, in addition to computers and Internet-ready devices they have access to.

Those sex offenders would have to report changes to their technological information every six months.

Rogers says the bill adapts current law to reflect technological advances.

The state attorney general backed Rogers' proposal as a means to strengthen the fight against cybercrimes. ..Source.. KSPR.com
