Public Registry Of Methamphetamine Offenders Proposed In Indiana

[Nacumen]

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -- A bill introduced in the General Assembly would create a public registry of meth offenders. A legislative study committee voted unanimously in October to endorse a registry of anyone convicted of manufacturing, delivering or financing the production of methamphetamine.
Illinois, Minnesota, Montana and Tennessee already have passed laws creating similar registries.
The sponsor, Representative Ralph Foley, says the registry would include the names of all people convicted after June 30 and whether the offender had to pay for an environmental cleanup.
He says it would allow potential employers or landlords to check out a person's history and possibly avoid the toxic byproducts left behind by methamphetamine production.
