FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Starting April 1, sex offenders in Allen County will be required to pay a fee to register and change their addresses. Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries and deputies asked the County Commissioners to consider imposing the fee.
A new state law allows each county within the state of Indiana to impose a fee for sex offenders to register and update their addresses. Commissioners approved the county's request Friday morning.
Starting in April offenders will be required to pay $50 to register and $5 every time they change addresses.
"It is an expensive process and we thought it would be best with the budget constraints that we have now if we did try to generate a little bit of money to cover some of our costs anyway," Corporal Jeff Shimkus said.
If offenders don't pay, they could be taken to small claims court and ordered to pay up.
