This bill aims to prohibit individuals required to register as sex offenders from entering water parks, swimming areas, or children's playgrounds located within public parks. The legislation repeals the existing Arkansas Code 5-14-133, which previously restricted registered offenders from entering water parks owned or operated by local governments. The new provisions expand the scope of the prohibition to include all public parks, thereby enhancing the safety measures for children in recreational areas.

Additionally, the bill amends Arkansas Code 5-14-134 to clarify definitions and broaden the restrictions. It introduces new definitions for "public park" and "water park," ensuring that the law encompasses a wider range of recreational facilities. The amended law specifies that registered offenders assessed as Level 3 or Level 4 are prohibited from being within 100 feet of these areas, reinforcing the intent to protect children from potential harm. Violations of this law remain classified as a Class D felony.
