Bill > HB2694

This bill modifies existing law to prohibit sexually violent predators from being placed in less restrictive alternatives, such as supervised community housing, if their residence is within 500 feet of or has a direct line of sight to child care facilities, public or private schools (kindergarten through 12th grade), or recreational facilities as defined by law. Previously, the law only required a minimum distance restriction from schools and child care facilities, but this bill expands the restrictions to include recreational facilities and introduces the prohibition of a direct line of sight to these locations, aiming to enhance community safety by increasing the buffer zone around places frequented by children.
