Summary

The bill makes it illegal for certain convicted sex offenders to be on K‑12 school grounds, preschools or child‑care centers unless they are there for a defined “legitimate purpose” such as dropping off a child or an emergency. It creates a secure, law‑enforcement‑only database of offender information and sets criminal penalties that scale with the seriousness of the offender’s original crime. The measure also adds a series of administrative rules for community schools, covering contracts, financial audits, enrollment and attendance policies.
