AI Summary
This bill amends several Kentucky statutes related to public safety:
1. It prohibits registered sex offenders from loitering within 1,000 feet of schools, playgrounds, day cares, swimming pools, and splash pads, unless they have advance written permission. It defines "loitering" and "mobile business" in this context.
2. It adds healthcare providers working in emergency rooms to the list of protected workers under the offense of assault in the third degree.
3. It expands the definition of "family member" under domestic violence laws to include adult siblings.
4. It clarifies requirements for registered sex offenders to report changes in residence, travel, and identification information to local probation and parole offices. It requires more frequent address verification for offenders without a fixed residence.
The bill takes effect on January 23, 2024, except for the provisions in Section 2 related to sex offender registration requirements, which take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature.
