Requires AG to defend challenges to certain municipal ordinances that establish residency requirements for convicted sex offenders.

This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create a model ordinance restricting where convicted sex offenders (with moderate/high reoffense risk) can live near schools or child-focused areas. Municipalities adopting this exact model ordinance will receive free legal defense from the Attorney General if challenged in court. The model cannot force offenders to relocate or violate constitutional travel rights. It directly affects municipalities seeking to enforce such restrictions and convicted sex offenders subject to registration requirements. The Attorney General must issue the model within 90 days and defend all identical ordinances at no cost to the municipality.
