Jeff Landry\u2019s (R-LA) desk. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the state\u2019s House of Representatives passed the Senate bill by a vote of 74 to 24, but the legislator ultimately added amendments that were only just unanimously passed on Tuesday. Those changes must now be approved by the Senate. The original bill required all sex offenders to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>undergo the procedure<\/a>, but the most recent version leaves it up to a judge.  <\/p>\n<p>The state already practices chemical castration through medication as a punishment for sex offenders, but Democratic state Sen. Regina Barrow\u2019s bill will allow a judge to order the procedure for a felon who committed a sexual offense against a child under 13 at the end of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">prison sentence<\/a>. Failure to comply could result in an additional three to five years in prison. <\/p>\n<p>Female offenders would have to have their ovaries removed. Exceptions for the punishment are made for offenders under the age of 17. The bill could become law by Aug. 1.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of castration would be $550 to $680 per inmate, according to Louisiana\u2019s Department of Corrections and Public Safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to stand and fight for children,\u201d Democratic state Rep.
