Senate Sends Bid To Ban Sex Offender Salesmen To Governor

BATON ROUGE (AP) — A proposal to bar convicted sex offenders from working as door-to-door salesmen in Louisiana is headed to the governor's desk.

         The Senate unanimously supported the measure Wednesday, giving it final passage with a 37-0 vote. The House also unanimously supported the measure.

         If Gov. John Bel Edwards agrees to the bill, violators would face prison sentences up to 10 years and a fine up to $10,000.
