Clarifies the definition of "public swimming pool" as it relates to location restrictions for certain offenders
HB 3186 clarifies that "public swimming pool" includes community pools in apartment complexes or housing developments for residents and guests. This expands location restrictions preventing certain sex offenders (convicted of specific crimes like child sexual exploitation) from being within 500 feet of facilities primarily for children's recreation, such as public pools, parks with playgrounds, or children's museums. The bill specifically adds residential community pools to the definition of "public swimming pool" under these restrictions. It also allows parents or guardians of children attending programs at Missouri Department of Conservation centers to be present with their child if granted permission by the center manager.
