A new law prohibiting sex offenders in the state from legally changing their names without court approval will be introduced at 10:30 a.m. today by Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona and Attorney General Mark Bennett at the state Capitol

The law is in direct response to an increase in name change requests from registered sex offenders.

Several law enforcement representatives will be in attendance.
