Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Division of Parole to establish residency restrictions for certain sex offenders. Specifically, it prohibits these offenders from living within 500 feet of elementary or secondary schools, child care centers, or playgrounds, with some exceptions including serving time at nearby correctional facilities, receiving mental health treatment, or if the property was already occupied prior to the bill’s passage. Parole officers will be responsible for enforcing these restrictions when approving residence changes.
