HD 2514 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to sex offenders

This bill (HD 2514) restricts where Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders can live or work. It prohibits these offenders from establishing a home address or accepting employment within 500 feet of any public or private school, licensed day care center, or other child care facility. The key provision creates a mandatory 500-foot buffer zone around these locations to limit offenders' proximity to children. This directly affects individuals classified as Level 2 or 3 sex offenders under the state's registry system.
