Prohibits level two or three sex offenders from voting at a school or facility for children
This bill prohibits level two or three registered sex offenders from entering schools or children's facilities to vote in person, classifying such acts as a class A misdemeanor (or a class E felony for repeat offenses within 10 years). It simultaneously creates a new absentee voting option for these offenders when their polling place is located on school or children's facility property. The law defines "school or facility for children" broadly to include all K-12 schools and childcare centers where minors are present. This directly affects sex offenders with higher risk designations whose voting locations fall within these designated areas, requiring them to use absentee ballots instead of voting in person.
