Bill Summary

Relating to the authority of a municipal utility district to restrict sex offenders from child safety zones in the district; creating an offense.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes municipal utility districts in Texas to restrict registered sex offenders from entering or being within a certain distance (up to 1,000 feet) of "child safety zones" within the district, such as schools, playgrounds, and youth centers. The bill creates a Class C misdemeanor offense for violating these rules, but provides an affirmative defense for registered sex offenders who have a legitimate purpose for being in the restricted areas. The bill requires the district to install signs indicating the child safety zones and establish procedures for registered sex offenders to apply for exemptions from the rules.
