Bill Summary

For legislation to prohibit certain sex offenders from loitering within 500 feet of a school bus stop. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 265 to create a new section that prohibits sex offenders classified as level 2 or level 3, for as long as they are required to register, from loitering, which is defined as remaining for more than 15 minutes, within 500 feet of a designated school bus stop. Exceptions are made for registered sex offenders who are parents or legal guardians of a child scheduled to use the bus stop, allowing them to remain until the child has departed or arrived. Violations carry escalating penalties, including fines and potential jail time, and require notification to the sex offender registry board.
