Bill Alter, R-Jefferson County, who sponsored a bill that would ban sex offenders from school property, "I think we are going to see more and more bills that, like yours, have a good public policy goal.

JEFFERSON CITY - Republican Senator Bill Alter is sponsoring a bill that would, among other things, train the Highway Patrol to enforce immigration laws.
