Alabama gov signs bill requiring child sex offenders to undergo chemical castration
By Zack Budryk - 06/10/19 07:50 PM EDT

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed a bill into law Monday night that would require the chemical castration of certain sex offenders as a condition of parole, according to AL.com.

The bill, passed by the state legislature last week, requires male offenders whose offense involved a child under the 13 to “undergo chemical castration treatment in addition to any other penalty or condition prescribed by law.”


The law would require the sex offenders to foot the bill for the treatment but would “prohibit a person from being denied parole because of indigency.”

I doubt if that will survive.
