Bill > HB111

This bill expands legal restrictions on sexually violent predators and sex offenders by creating new provisions about their presence near schools and school-related activities. Specifically, the bill makes it unlawful for these individuals to loiter within 500 feet of school pickup or drop-off locations between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. when children are present, if the offender has "reasonable grounds" to believe children are awaiting transportation. The bill defines "reasonable grounds" broadly, including factors such as children's attire, school supplies, athletic equipment, or the time of day. Additionally, the bill provides a definition of "loitering" as lingering or remaining in a public place without a lawful purpose, and clarifies what constitutes "school property." These new provisions apply to sex offenders whose victims were under 13 years old and to individuals classified as sexually violent predators, with the goal of protecting children from potential sexual predators during critical school transit times.
