Executive Director Richard Whidden spoke to over 100 law enforcement officers and attorneys at the Ohio Attorney General's Annual Law Enforcement Conference in Columbus, Ohio on October 27, 2006. He provided an overview of efforts by local governments to regulate sex offenders across the nation and discussed case law interpreting those efforts. 

"This is an area of law that is changing almost on a weekly basis,"  Whidden told his audience, noting that several court decisions had taken place in the past few weeks affecting local ordinances regulating sex offenders.
