Overview
This bill makes it a crime for registered sex offenders to live within 1,000 feet of a person’s home or workplace. However, the law includes exceptions for offenders serving sentences in correctional facilities located nearby, those receiving mental health treatment in nearby facilities, or those who already lived in the area before the law’s enactment. The bill aims to address a potential loophole in existing laws regarding sex offender residency.
