OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A bill designed to tighten living restrictions on a group of sex offenders living at a mobile home park in south Oklahoma City has cleared the Senate on a second attempt.
The Senate voted 34-12 on Thursday for the bill just hours after it failed on a previous attempt.
The measure targets residents of the Hand Up ministry, which houses more than 270 sex offenders. It provides that mobile homes or trailers cannot be defined as multi-unit structures for purposes of sex offender living restrictions. The bill gives residents of the ministry an additional year to comply with the law.
The bill failed earlier on a 21-25 vote after Oklahoma City Republican Sen. Cliff Branan became emotional during debate, expressing concern the measure could threaten the safety of children. ..Source.. by GreenwichTime.com

I live at HandUp Ministries and this has been a real nightmare. Everyone here has complied with Law inforcment by registering and seeking treatment. It is not enough that we have been to prison and served out a prison sentence, we get out and are treated like someone with the plague. Our identifications have Sex Offender written all over it in bright red letters, Punishment for life, Registration for life for some more Punishment for life. Paying your debt to society behind bars is not enough. It seems un-constitutional. Now this mess with living quarters don't they more problem to worry about? Signed living for Jesus
