This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 14:91.1(D) and enacts R.S. 14:91.1(A)(3) and 91.2(A)(7) to address offenses affecting the health and morals of minors, specifically concerning sex offenders and sexually violent predators. The new provisions define unlawful presence for these offenders, particularly focusing on loitering near locations used for the pickup or drop-off of children during specific hours when children are present. The bill outlines that loitering in these areas constitutes unlawful presence if the offender has reasonable grounds to believe that children are awaiting pickup or drop-off.

Additionally, the bill provides a definition of "loitering" and clarifies what constitutes "reasonable grounds" for offenders. The definitions include considerations such as the attire of children, personal items, school supplies, and the time of day. These changes aim to enhance the protection of minors by restricting the presence of sex offenders and sexually violent predators in areas frequented by children during critical times.
