AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow cities and towns in Massachusetts to impose a local zoning restriction on the residency of level-three sex offenders. Specifically, it would prohibit level-three sex offenders from establishing a residence within 1,500 feet of any school, daycare center, park, or recreational facility. The bill defines a "level-three sex offender" as an individual who has been convicted of a criminal sex offense and designated as a high-risk offender by the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board. The bill also outlines enforcement mechanisms, including a 30-day notice requirement and provisions for each day of non-compliance to be considered a separate violation.
