Bill Summary

Relative to prohibiting level 3 sex offenders from residing together. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 265 of the General Laws by adding a new section that prohibits individuals classified as "level 3 sex offenders" from living together in the same dwelling, whether it's a single-family home or a unit within a multi-family building, unless they are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. A "level 3 sex offender" is a designation given to individuals convicted of certain sex offenses, indicating a high risk of reoffending. Violating this prohibition would result in a fine of $1,000, imprisonment for up to 2.5 years, or both, and the sex offender registry board would be notified of any such violation.
