Bill Summary
Relative to protecting victims and children from sex offenders. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing law concerning sex offenders by adding new restrictions for individuals classified as level 3 offenders, which is the highest risk category. Specifically, level 3 sex offenders would be prohibited from residing in any state-owned or operated housing, or any facility contracted by the state, within a one-mile radius of any school (public or private), licensed day care center, or any other child care facility. Furthermore, these offenders would be barred from living within 1000 feet of the property where their former victim or victims, or the victim's immediate family members, reside or work. The bill also introduces a 1000-foot restriction for level 3 sex offenders from schools, day care centers, or child care facilities regarding employment, and a similar 1000-foot restriction from the locations where their former victims or victims' immediate family members reside. These provisions aim to enhance the protection of children and victims by creating broader buffer zones around sensitive locations and individuals.
