Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed a bill into law late June 10 that would require child sex offenders to be chemically castrated as a condition of parole.

Gov. Kay Ivey’s press office said the bill is to take effect later this year. The measure applies to sex offenders convicted of certain crimes involving children younger than 13.
