Bills would identify sex offenders by auto plates
Pink tags on cars for five years after prison release
By Shaheen Samavati

Dayton Daily News

COLUMBUS | Two state lawmakers are pushing legislation that would require Ohio's most serious sex offenders to have pink identifying license plates for at least five years after their release from prison.

"A distinctive license plate would warn parents and children of the potential threat posed by sexual offenders," said Sen. Kevin Coughlin, R-Cuyahoga Falls.

Legislation by Rep. Michael DeBose, D-Cleveland, to require the license plates has stalled in a House committee. On Wednesday, Coughlin introduced an identical, companion bill in the Senate, which could give the issue a second chance. DeBose said pink was chosen because it stands out and is not easily camouflaged, though color isn't important.

The legislation would make it mandatory for courts to order the most serious sexual offenders, such as habitual child molesters, to use the license plates for a minimum of five years after their release from prison.
