Prohibits certain offenders from being five hundred feet of any Missouri state park
This bill prohibits individuals convicted of specific child-related crimes, such as incest or child pornography offenses, from being within 500 feet of Missouri state parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, and other facilities primarily used by children. The law establishes that a first violation is a class E felony, while a second or subsequent violation is elevated to a class D felony. However, the bill includes an exception allowing parents or guardians of children attending programs at nature or education centers to enter those properties with permission from the site manager.
