Subject: | Megan's Law Residency Restrictions |
Colleagues, In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that would establish a residency restriction for sexual offenders registered under Megan’s Law. Currently, under Pennsylvania Law, there are no residency restrictions for sexual offenders other than the requirement to notify the school district a sexual predator resides within a one mile radius. My legislation would prohibit Megan’s Law registrant’s from residing within 5,000 feet of any public school, private school, parochial school or pre-school. It is my belief that this legislation will ensure students safety by prohibiting sex offenders from moving near the educational facilities. Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation. |
Introduced as HB2507
