ATLANTA – Georgia House members passed a bill Tuesday that would update sex offender registration laws and give some convicted criminals a chance to be taken off the offender registry.

“There are certain offenders who arguably may not warrant being on the sex registry for the rest of their lives,” said Rep. Rich Golick, R-Smyrna. “These are all individuals that committed a serious crime, but each individual case is individual.”
