The House convened at 11 a.m. Monday to pass six bills, including a bill relating to adoption and a bill that prohibits sex offenders from assuming a supervisory role over children.
House Bill 4129 makes changes in code to adoption proceedings. This bill eliminates a 45-day waiting period before an adoption petition can be filed. If the minor being adopted is removed from a home because of abuse or neglect, then the adoption proceedings may take place in the same county as the original abuse and neglect proceedings.

This bill also requires extended supervision for certain sex offenders, sentencing, conditions, supervision provisions and the supervision fee. Some examples of a supervisory role are in youth groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4H organizations, sports teams, music, sporting, and theatre groups and camps, and summer day camps.
