AN ACT RESTRICTING RESIDENCY OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS NEAR SCHOOLS AND DAY CARE FACILITIES.

HB 6373 prohibits registered sex offenders from residing within 1,000 feet of public or private elementary/secondary schools or day care facilities. It makes violations a class A misdemeanor, with two key exceptions: offenders already living within the zone before the law's effective date, or new schools/day cares built after the law takes effect. The bill directly affects registered sex offenders who live near these locations, requiring them to relocate if they fall under the restricted zone. This policy change creates a clear geographic restriction on residency for this group near schools and child care facilities.
