THE EDMOND SUN (EDMOND, Okla.)
OKLAHOMA CITY — Lauren Nelson only has been wearing the Miss America tiara for seven weeks, but she’s already made appearances in 11 states.
This week, Nelson is back home in Oklahoma, and one of her stops was at the state Capitol, where she spoke to legislators Monday about her platform, Internet safety for children.
It’s a timely visit, because House Bill 1714, by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, and Sen. Jonathan Nichols, R-Norman, passed the House by a 99-0 vote on Feb. 14 and has been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Wesselhoft said he didn’t know when he wrote the bill that it later would be endorsed by a personal appearance from Miss America.
“Sometimes you just luck out,” he joked to onlookers Monday.
The bill will allow the courts to prohibit registered sex offenders from accessing certain communication Web sites, like MySpace and Facebook, and requires them to register with authorities any current e-mail addresses they are using.
