Bill Summary

For legislation relative to level-three sex offender residency restrictions. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to impose a zoning restriction prohibiting level-three sex offenders (individuals with a high risk of re-offending) from establishing residences within 500 feet of schools, daycares, parks, or recreational facilities. The bill defines key terms like "adult criminal level 3 sex offender" and "school," and outlines the process for communities to adopt this restriction, including measurement guidelines using a geographic information system (GIS). It also specifies that offenders already residing within the restricted area prior to the law's passage must move within 30 days, and continuing to reside there after the notice period will be considered a separate violation for each day.
