Bill Summary

For legislation relative to level-three sex offender residency restrictions. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to impose a local zoning restriction on the residency of Level 3 sex offenders, who are considered to have a high risk of reoffending. The bill prohibits Level 3 sex offenders from establishing a residence within 1,500 feet of a school, daycare center, park, or recreational facility. It also requires Level 3 sex offenders who already reside within 500 feet of such locations to move to a new location within 30 days, as long as the new location is not within 1,500 feet of those facilities. Failure to comply with the residency restriction is considered a violation, with each day of noncompliance counted as a separate violation.
