Contents: Ketcher says that Gov. Mel Carnahan supports this bill because it protects the public by allowing them to have access to the names of these sexual offenders. If this bill passes, juvenile officers would have to maintain a list of the offenders and state agencies would have to share this information with public entities, such as school officials, on a need to know basis.
