Summary

The bill would make it a felony for people convicted of certain sexual offenses against children to be within 500 feet of any Missouri state park, playground, public swimming pool, athletic field, children’s museum, or a Missouri Department of Conservation nature or education center. The first violation would be charged as a class E felony and any subsequent violation as a class D felony, with a narrow exception allowing a parent, legal guardian, or custodian to be present at a conservation‑center program if the center manager grants permission. The measure aims to increase safety for children in public recreational areas.
