Summary

The measure adds civil and criminal restrictions that prevent a person on the state sex‑offender registry from establishing a residence within 2,000 feet of a victim’s home and from loitering within 1,000 feet. It also bars such offenders from volunteer roles that involve extensive, unsupervised contact with minor children. Violations can trigger injunctions, landlord actions, and felony penalties based on the offender’s original crime.
