RALEIGH, N.C. — A bill going through the North Carolina Legislature would force sex offenders to pay to be on the state’s sex offender registry.
The House gave preliminary approval Wednesday to the proposal that would force sex offenders to pay $90 a year to be listed on the registry.
People convicted of sex-related offenses would still have to be listed on the registry even if they don’t pay, but it would allow the state to take civil action in order to recover the fees.
The money would be used to keep the sex offender registry up and running.
A final vote is expected Thursday in the House on the legislation.
