Bill would establish sex predator license plates in Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin's worst sex offenders would have to drive around with bright green license plates, possibly for the rest of their lives, under a bill a Republican lawmaker introduced Monday.

Serious child molesters and sexually violent offenders would have to bolt the plates onto their cars and trucks when they're released from prison, the bill's author, Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc, said.

Many sex offenders use their cars to commit their crimes, driving to see someone they meet online or prowling parks and schools, Kleefisch said. He picked green because children associate it with Mr. Yuk, a symbol designed to warn children of poison.

"We chose the color bright green because many children have learned to stay away from Mr. Yuk," Kleefisch said. "We want parents to know if there's a car with one of these plates lurking near a playground, beware."

Kleefisch said he's also considering emblazoning each plate with a sex offender warning.

Ohio lawmakers have advanced similar legislation. That bill is in committee, but Gov. Ted Strickland has said he will sign it.

Ohio already requires repeat drunken drivers to display bright yellow tags.
