Summary

The bill tightens where a person released as a sexually violent predator can live, banning residences within a quarter‑mile of any public or private school or child daycare center if they have certain convictions or a history of abuse. It also clarifies how the county of domicile is determined, sets notice and consultation requirements, and outlines procedures for moving jurisdiction when placement occurs outside the home county. These changes aim to protect children while providing a clearer process for community placement.
