This bill makes it a Class A misdemeanor for a parent or guardian to knowingly leave a child under eighteen in the care of someone required to register as a sexual offender. The law applies specifically when the parent allows the child to be supervised by or unaccompanied with such an individual, unless specific exceptions in the sex offender registry law apply. By amending state codes on child endangerment and sex offender registration, the legislation clarifies the legal consequences for parents who fail to protect children from registered offenders.
