OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Convicted sex offenders will have to wear a Global Positioning device under a bill signed into law Tuesday by Governor Brad Henry.

Supporters of the measure say it allows law enforcement to monitor the location of sex offenders after their release from prison.

The new law requires convicted habitual and aggravated sex offenders to wear the electronic GPS monitoring device for the rest of their lives after their release from prison.
