ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial Central Florida senator wants to pass a law that would punish teens who show off their underwear.

The Education Appropriations Committee will begin debate on the measure Tuesday.

If the "Pull Up Your Britches" bill somehow passes, students could be suspended up to 10 days for showing their underwear.

The bill's sponsor is state Sen. Gary Siplin of Orlando.

The senator was convicted of grand theft for paying his office staff with state money while he worked on his re-election campaign.

The senate has suspended action to remove Siplin from office pending his appeal.
