Steve Hurst, a Republican from Munford, Alabama, has introduced a bill that would require sex offenders who have committed offenses against children under the age of 13 to pay for their own chemical castration before being released from state custody.
The Alabama State Legislature overwhelmingly passed House Bill 379 (HB379), legislating mandatory “chemical castration in addition to any other penalty or condition prescribed by law” for anyone eligible for parole and convicted of a sex offense involving someone 13 years old or younger.
