OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Senate has voted 47-0 to permit the use Global Positioning System technology to protect victims of domestic violence.The measure, by Sen. Debbe Leftwich, now goes to Gov. Brad Henry.
Under the legislation, court-issued GPS devices will notify both the victim and law enforcement if an offender violates geographic boundaries set by the court.
Leftwich, an Oklahoma City Democrat, says offenders must pay for the GPS bracelet at a cost of about $4.50 a day.
The Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault says there are about 25,000 domestic abuse calls to authorities every year.
