Homeless Sex Offender Hitchhiking Act of 2009?

House Bill 168 proposes to require homeless sex offenders "to report, in person, once every seven (7) days to the sheriff of the county in which he resides" so he can provide "a detailed description of the location where he is residing." And the Sheriff has to go out at least once a month to check it out.

So the guy living under the bridge in Powell has to stick his thumb out so he can make the 130 mile one-way trip to Grangeville every week to let the sheriff know he's still there? That'll sure increase public safety. (At least the Sheriff can give him a ride back once a month.) Good thinking Representative Jim Clark (R-Hayden Lake)!
